Son's Spiel
"Although I was pleased with the ladies' efforts, we need to reduce our turnovers if we want to play to our full ability. We are growing better every day, and we can't wait to return to the Sheaffer Center for the final home game of 2022. We will use this break to rest up." SAGU head women's basketball coach Micheal Sons said.
