FROM THE HEAD COACH
K-State Head Coach Mike Dibbini
On his overall thoughts on the game…
"It was a good first half, we created more opportunities. Then they scored and that changed the momentum a little bit. And then with the second goal it was hard to come back."
On Jo Sees and her ability to put herself in the right spots for goals…
"I believe so, she has a knack for figuring out ways to get a shot on goal. "
On what the leaving seniors have left for the team going forward…
"They had a lot of determination, perseverance, and just never backed down. I think that they helped pass some of that down to the next generation, and they will continue to take that on."
