FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Bobby Pennington
"Despite the score today, the women gave everything they had during each point. The only other time they will see a ball similar to BYU-Hawaii is against Cornell. BYU-Hawaii was very talented and had some players who have achieved WTA rankings. It was great experience for the ladies today and seeing this type of ball will more than prepare them for Patriot League play!"
