QUOTABLES
Head coach Matt Nantais
"I couldn't be prouder of how this team fought through an incredibly demanding weekend. When a oil pattern forces you to completely change your game plan and rely on your spare equipment just to keep the ball on the lane, it tests your mental toughness. Our physical execution has room to grow before we head to Tulane next week, but our team chemistry and mutual support were off the charts.Â
Huge congratulations to Arianna for an incredible performance—earning Tournament MVP on a pattern that tough proves just how special of a competitor she is."
UP NEXTÂ
Louisiana Tech travels to Harahan, Louisiana to compete in the Coronel Classic, hosted by Tulane. The tournament will take place from Friday, Oct. 9 to Sunday, Oct. 11.
