Northwest head coach Ken Crawford remarked, "It's a disappointing end to a great game that went down to the wire. We just couldn't hit shots at the end, and we made a couple of crucial mistakes. We had a great season with a great group of young women who have represented themselves, their teammates, and the university well."
