Eve Zephier and Sydney Cournoyer would each add 2 and Avari Bruguier would finish with 1. “Winner is a very good team that used a lot of physical play against us on both ends of the court. We are a very young team that needs to learn from what happened in this game and continue to work on little correctible errors. The biggest one that stands out is rebounding and limiting turnovers. They shot 31 more times than us and had more offensive rebounds than our total.”
