Head coach Anthony Crocitto expressed, "That was a phenomenal second-half by the Lions tonight. Ayanna Trigg was a workhorse on both ends tonight. She's playing with so much more disciple and confidence in 2022. Alex Button and Amanda Ulrich made the necessary adjustments to help us extend the lead. Kiki McIntyre was exciting to watch. She dominated a point guard and set the tone for the speed of the game. McIntyre is playing like a top point guard in the nation. I'm very proud."

Down by three at 41-38 in the third quarter, the Lions pulled away registering a 14-0 run. The third quarter offensive burst carried into the fourth quarter, 52-41 with 8:17 remaining.

"We are tired," said Crocitto. "We are drained but we are ready for a nice day off while we prepare work for Monday's practice."
