Coach Dreyer Quotes:
"I know not making the playoffs stung the girls. We were one game away from going to the conference tournament. The girls are ready to get back to the tournament. I think we have the talent. I don't talk about it every day. I just tell them to trust the process. If we take care of business, the results will be there."

"From day one, I've set a high expectation for this team. The girls want to host a conference tournament match. To do that, we need to be positive, maintain good team chemistry and be disciplined in every aspect of the game. The girls are fighting for spots. That is a great problem to have. This is a competitive team."
