Bryant Blue coach Derek McGrew said, “We obviously played a much superior opponent in Bryant. They have an excellent team and could have scored as many points as they wanted.

“I was proud that we continued to play hard and not give up as the score got away from us,” he added. “This team is very inexperienced. They are a group of fine young ladies and we will learn from this and move on.”
