“One of the big goals today was to break the press. We knew that they were going to press us, they did press us the whole game, and we broke the press very, very well throughout the entire game. We came up a little short, but I’m super, super proud of their effort tonight,” Coach Jennifer Scazzero said.
The team will face the McNeil Mavericks on Friday, Dec. 14 in the Westwood Auxiliary Gym.
