HOUND BYTES
Head coach Kristin Wodrich on the Bearcats' defensive game plan …
"We didn't play well. They pressed, they trapped us, we sped up and didn't meet many of our passes. We're going to have games like that, and you've got to be able to turn it around. We didn't make adjustments in the second half like we were supposed to, so we just need to regroup and get back at it."

UP NEXT
The Greyhounds will get back on the road Saturday, Jan. 16 to Romeoville, Ill., and take on Lewis. That game will tip off at 2 p.m.
