Coach’s quote: “St. Thomas always brings tenacious defense and tonight was no different. They pushed our offense and kept many difficult balls in play. I was proud of how we handled a little adversity and how our game is constantly evolving. No one is relied on to do it by themselves and any given night different players step up to the plate. That’s what a team is about and tonight was no different.” – Coe-Brown’s Renee Zobel
