After their loss to Rampart on Monday, the team had a great turn around this game. The power shown by each player in their shots made for some great plays for the fans to see. “We had to do very good to make up for our game against Rampart on Monday.

In this game good shots were made and the players worked as a team together allowing them to have their desired outcome. The players made good decisions during the game, and demonstrated the ability of knowing when to execute and make good plays.
