LEE'S THOUGHTS

"I'm so proud of our seniors, today was all about them. For Jade, Isa, and Helena to each get a win on such an emotional match is so gratifying. They have given so much to our program on and off the court", said Head Coach Lee Walker. "It was a true program win and I couldn't be more proud of their commitment to get our team back to this moment where our postseason destiny is right in front of us."

We are still aiming for that Big 12 regular season championship, and NCAA berth, and we have a lot of momentum right now. We need to keep improving and building for two very good teams in Arizona State and Arizona."
