Coach
Shiloh Posey had these comments about the game, "Regardless of this result, these ladies worked their guts out , and gave us their best tonight. I can't express how much I wish they could have gotten the win - the work they put in deserved that result. We have to continue to work at some things, and we have another good opportunity on Thursday against UTPB. We will focus on the specific areas we believe need to be addressed and come prepared. I am very proud of these ladies, and could not ask for more than they are giving."
As Coach Posey alluded to, the Lady Pioneers return home Thursday to face UT Permian Basin at 5:00 PM.
