Once we got rolling and the press started working, the tempo got faster and we played better.” “We gave them some trouble with the press and put a lot of pressure on them in the backcourt,” added Dale. “Emily and Mattie both played well, they basically took over the game - it was nice to see them play well together.” Kari DeYoung totaled 16 points for the Warriors.
