We got a few blocks on her but there were so many times where she was going up and over even (Madison) Duello and Dana (Rettke). She just hit some ridiculous balls there."I thought it was two even teams. Statistically it was pretty close, but I thought they finished a little bit better. I thought their pins were playing with an incredible amount of strength and I thought that ours weren't always doing that. Hopefully it's a learning lesson."-Head coachThe Badgers have the day off tomorrow before returning to the court on Sunday to take on North Texas in Denton, Texas at 1 p.m.
