HOUND BYTES
Head Coach Kristin Wodrich's thoughts on game…
"I thought our kids played really hard. They took the game plan and did what they were supposed to do. They moved the ball well, got downhill, and we got good shots but they just didn't fall."
 
Wodrich on the team's comeback run…
"Our guards did a really nice job of putting pressure on them and turning the ball over. We kept the tempo, and we didn't get tired down the stretch. Our post players got in foul trouble and our freshman Taylor Drury really stepped up and had to go down there on the block, so I was really proud of her for that. The effort was there tonight, but we just fell short."
 
UP NEXT
The Greyhounds start a lengthy stretch of road games when they travel to in-region Grand Valley State Friday, Nov. 17 – the first of six consecutive games away from Nicoson Hall.
