HOUND BYTES
Assistant coach Chrissy Roberts' opinion on the Flyers' pressure…
"They made us uncomfortable, for sure. We shut down Kathryn Schmidt (their leading scorer), but they were able to band together and find their teammates for good shots and opportunities. We made it to the free throw line and knocked down several of them, our turnovers just really killed our momentum.

Assistant coach Evan Dodd on the Greyhounds' execution of their game plan...
"I thought Mickey Sasson did a great job at the free throw line and attacking and we did a good of going downhill, but we got away form that in the second half in our execution."
