“We didn’t play with as much passion as Fraser Valley did tonight,” stated TRU head coach Scott Reeves. “ We gave up too many offensive rebounds and couldn’t make our free throws down the stretch.”
Fraser Valley had 16 offensive rebounds led by Taylor Claggett with five. She wound up with a game high 10 rebounds and had nine points. The Cascades were led by Katie Brink with 18 points while Kayli Satori added 14 points.
