Quote of the Week:
“[Louisville] is a different team than previous years. They’ve added more to their roster with more experience with [Abby] Erceg and [Carson] Pickett, so it’ll be a difficult game. Every game is a difficult game in this league and that’s why we love it. Every game is a challenge and they’re looking for their first win, so it should be a competitive game, a good game for both teams. We have to go and get a win in front of our fans because our fans deserve that as well, so we’re looking forward to it.” -- Head Coach Seb Hines
