Coach Sharp's Thoughts
It's important that we get ourselves better starts on the road. We dug ourselves a hole early on and spent most of the game trying to come back. We had good moments in the third quarter defensively where we played with some edge on that end of the floor. We need to find a way to stretch that into four quarters.

Scoring the Game

Tilda Sjökvist connected on a layup to cut the deficit to six, 14-8, with three minutes to play in the first, leading to a media break. The Blue Hose pushed back down the stretch of the first quarter with a 6-1 run over the final three minutes to make it 15-14 Highlanders after one.
