COACHES CORNER
On Los Angeles and Dominguez Hills spilt
"Well obviously you always go into the weekend hoping for two wins, but more importantly I was very proud and pleased with how the team responded after the Los Angeles game," said Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson. "We really felt like we didn't perform our best, then coming out against Dominguez Hills I felt the girls made it a priority, especially on the defensive end. How they responded after a short turnaround like that is not always the easiest task, but they did a very good job."
 
On Cal Poly Pomona
It's going to be a tough challenge for us," says Bento-Jackson. "They are a little bit different than a lot of teams in our conference, from the standpoint they're a post-oriented team. So a lot of emphasis in practice this week is going to be on certain things that we need to do defensively to try to limit high-percentage points for them."
