Son's Spiel

"Proud of how the ladies handled business on the road. Great performance from Autumn Moore, but this was a triumph for the entire team. Defensively, we were focused on our assignments, and the same mentality carried over to the offensive side," SAGU head women's basketball coach Micheal Sons said.
