Thoughts from Coach Wedemeyer
"I am really proud of the girls because with Lipscomb not having a game on Friday and with the travel it made it a difficult environment to come into. Lipscomb is a really good team and I am proud of the way we were able to come back and fight for the win. We have been close so much this season and the results have not always gone our way. The fact our team has been so positive through this stretch and committed to the program shows their character."
