We shared the ball well in the second half and finished with 12 assists and we shot 52.9% from the field. Bruni Martinez was huge with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Ny Langley stepped up with 18 points and five rebounds as well. This was a great way to go into the Holiday break. We will enjoy our families, regroup, and prepare for Barton when we return."
