From the Coach – Head Coach Katherine Mowat
"It was nice to have an opportunity to host for the first time in two years. There were certainly a lot of positives to take away from the tournament. We had some individual highlights that we will celebrate. We will get back to work in the next week and a half before our next tournament and figure out what we need to work on to be a better team. I'm proud of our fight, they never quit out there. We put in a lot of really hard work with the adversity that our team has faced so far this season. I know the best is yet to come for the squad."
