Brenda Frese's Take
"Gosh, what a special road win. I thought it was probably our most complete 40-minute game, which was exciting. We knew how difficult this of a place this was from past experience. I just thought our mentality was right. We set the tone from the first quarter and really never looked back. I thought we were able to get so many different contributions on the offensive end, but it was our defense and our rebounding that separated us. A tremendous road win for us, our first one. JMU's a great team. They're really well-coached. They're a really talented team. They're going to have a lot of success in their league. Just excited about a really tough road win that we made it look easy."
