IN THEIR WORDS
Head Coach Jen Fisher on the win…
"We had two days off and that is always risky to do, but I think there is value in having rest at this point of the season. I thought we were a little bit rusty to start, but we shook it off and got Taylor Gilmore some run support; she just got stronger after that. It was good for her to go the whole six innings and it was great for our offense. I thought a number of players produced today and our offense looked really good. We also made some great plays on defense, the infield looked really good."
