“We are starting to learn,” Lady Tigers coach Scott Kinsaul said. “We are playing well, and starting to understand what we need to do, that is what summer is for. I’m proud of them so far. The Carroll coach came up to me after the game and said ‘You sure have a hustling bunch.’ That is something we pride ourselves on.”
