TWU Head Coach Ryan Hofer
“Really pleased with our performance tonight on our first opportunity to play at home. We had really strong attacking numbers from everybody.

We did a good job of controlling the ball on our side of the court and just making tough wins and putting ourselves in good opportunities.”
