Coach Burgess' Thoughts:
- "Great start to senior weekend and a great team effort tonight. Paige executed well almost hitting .400 and all the outsides played well. The high energy we get in Templeton always gives us the motivation to win and we were able to do that tonight. I expect another tough, competitive match tomorrow."
