“I’m just glad to get this one over,” Lady Eagles’ head coach Jerry Davis said. “That first playoff games is always a tough one. I didn’t feel like we played with too many jitters, though. Most teams are going to try to shut down River (Baldwin), and when that happened tonight, Cassidy (Godwin) stepped up and made plays.  I thought Abby Walker did a great job at point tonight. The pressure she put on caused a lot of problems for the other team. She plays aggressive and really gets after it.”
