COACH JON GIN'S COMMENTS
It was a really disappointing way to end a great season. We just couldn't get enough stops defensively. It felt like they hit every shot in the second half and you could tell our seniors got really tight down the stretch, but I'm super proud of this group. They fought through a lot of adversity and injuries and took us to new heights. This senior class has elevated the level of our program. I'm super grateful for all of them and all they have invested into our program the last four years.
