COACH JESS SMITH, QUOTED

"Obviously, we've had a really tough non-conference season, but I know our group will use the adversity to our advantage as we go into conference. We played really well for much of the game today and had chances to win, but didn't execute."
"Over the next two weeks, we'll all elevate our impact on the team and be ready to go in North Dakota."
