THOUGHTS FROM COACH NICHOLS
- "First, Lyon is a quality team, well coached, and they played really hard. Thankfully our girls were so intentional about not letting the long road trip be an excuse for a poor performance. I'm really proud of them. They worked and worked and executed our game plan and had a break away that proved to be the game winner. Time prepare for CBC on Friday."
