COACH PERKINS QUOTE
"Super happy with how the girls performed tonight. We are on our way to having a good season. The girls are confident and they are having fun, and to beat Michigan State, a Big 10 school, we've been trying to do that for a long time, and to finally do it in that fashion is a great statement to how hard the team has been working, and the time they have put into the season."
