Coach Jones' Thoughts:
"We defended really well today and got points from our stops. Our depth allowed us to run for 40 minutes. I am very happy with our focus on the little things. We controlled the controllables in a game where we struggled to score in the half court."
"Bailey Pratt came ready to play today and our team followed her lead. I thought Julianna Taylor did a nice job attacking Keuka's defense and Kylee Rosbrook made sure that Keuka didn't get second chance points."
"Overall I'm proud that our entire team defended our home court this weekend."
