Coach Spallina's Take
"It's great to get a win in the NCAA tournament and advance our team in the tournament to the next round. We came out a little tight but settled down and played well the rest of the way. This is an incredible group of people so I am really happy for them. We set our sights on the next round, healing up and prepping for a great opponent."
