Lady Rams head coach Briana Halteman said that her team did good job of playing strong early.

“I am very proud of the way our girls came out and jumped on the bats early in the game,” she said. “Central Christian has a strong offense, so getting the lead early was beneficial. We had a few defensive errors throughout the game, but overall the girls responded well to Central’s strong bats. Our girls have made huge improvements individually and as a team this season. It’s a blessing to coach girls that have a genuine desire to push themselves to their best.”
