QUOTE BOARD: HEAD COACH MARY DEJUTE
"Lubbock Christian was the better team today. We didn't come ready to play. Our blocking was stellar, but our defense did not show up. We seemed to be a step slow and the Lady Chaps took advantage of that. We have one more match to find some consistency before the tournament."
