COACH COLLEEN MULLEN: "Certainly not the outcome we wanted, but I am proud of how our players competed until the end. It just wasn't our day today. We had a great defensive effort in the third quarter but we couldn't capitalize on the offensive end. We were missing shots that we typically make. We will learn and grow from this game."
