Ken Crawford commented, "It was a good test for the Lady Eagles this afternoon as we took on Life Pacific. It was a hard-fought contest that went back-and-forth, though I felt we were in control the entire game. This was a good California trip for us, and we look forward to getting back home and getting ready for the Cascade Frontier Challenge next weekend."
