The Coach Says: "We started off slow and sloppy and they were able to take advantage of that," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Katelyn Vanderhoff said. "I thought our offense was stagnant at times and our shot selection was off. We really challenged the team at halftime and they stepped up in the second half. I thought our zone was very effective and we did a good job taking advantage of our mismatch inside."

On the Team After Two Games: "Tonight was a bit rough at times, but we are young and we need to go through these types of games," Vanderhoff said. "We have a lot to learn and we will continue to do so."
