QUOTES: Coach Marissa Ringblom
"Over the course of our last five matches, we have learned a lot about our strengths and weaknesses. We are proud of the effort and work rate of the group. That has never wavered. We feel like we have already played one of the toughest schedules in the country and it has shown us where we need to improve. Laramie County is a very good team. We truly believe that we are capable of playing at that level, but we must do the little things right and make smarter decisions on the ball. We are very excited to start conference play next weekend at Iowa Central. We will be looking to get a positive result. We are confident that these first five matches have prepared us well for conference play."
