“The girls were very determined all day and knew what they wanted to accomplish,” Head coach Skylar Morris said. “These girls have fought back multiple times and have kept their composure, and limited their mistakes.”

Then on Saturday, Kya Scott broke the school record for career points with 501. Kirsten Staab was the previous assist record holder and Layna Garey for points.
“It is always exciting to see a record get broke, Morris said. “That is why we have records, for them to get broke.”
