QUOTABLE
"Today was a hard-fought battle, and I knew that I had to play my all-out for this team and especially the seniors. This team deserved this game; it came down to the very end. Everyone played with heart, and we had a talk before the game about playing for each other and not giving up, and that's exactly what we did. Although we didn't come out with a win, we definitely came out and fought for that game and for each other. I knew that I needed to convert and do all that I could for these girls," Guenther said.
