"We've got different players showing up at different times and we had some spurts throughout the season where everyone starts showing up," said Head Coach Beth Launiere. "I felt like we were really taking off as a team, but we're not quite there yet. Our offense was stalling so we implemented some new plays to try and make it quicker. That showed off a little bit tonight. I think we can make this shift pretty easily and we need to get more offense going. "
