Ken Crawford commented, "What a great effort by the lady Eagles tonight. Down by double figures twice in the game, we rallied and took the game away. It was a great team effort with contributions from a lot of folks. This is definitely something for us to build on as we head for the next one, which will be Friday at Pacific University in Portland."
