“I am very proud of the team,” said Bulls head coach Denise Schilte-Brown. “To come out and compete against a team like UConn, an elite eight team from a year ago, is great to see. I liked composure we showed. We stayed aggressive on the attack. We played for the win, instead of just trying to defend. We were aggressive and played to the very end.”
