THE ROOS, QUOTED
- Coach Jacie Hoyt
- "It's important for us to take things one game at a time. Every game we talk about going 1-0. We haven't talked about the streak as much as what's gotten us there. What's helped us do that is the team buying in to the fact that everyone has to play a really important role. We have a lot of weapons."
- "We weren't happy with the way we ended the game, we had too many turnovers. We want to get better every game, we don't worry about what the score is or who we're playing."
- Naomie Alnatas
- "Every award and honor I have keeps me humble. I'm not somebody that pays much attention to that. I'm grateful for it, but at the end of the day it's so far from the mission we have for the team and for myself."
UP NEXT
The Roos will take the rest of the week off before hosting Baker University next Wednesday at 7 p.m.
