From Gebbia

“I am proud of the fight that we showed to get back in the fourth quarter. We need to go through some of these things to continue to grow. We have the heart and fight. There are a couple of things that we do just a little bit better, and we win this game. They outrebounded us, shot free throws better than us and we had too many turnovers. We have to play just a little bit smarter and efficiently but these last two show us what we need to work on over the next week to get ready for ACC play in a week. This one hurt and we need to make sure we need to do the right things before we play Georgia Tech here in a week.” – Megan Gebbia
