FROM HEAD COACH AMAKA AGUGUA-HAMILTON

“We been through a lot of adversity. I typically don’t believe in moral victories. I want to win. I’m competitive and so is my team. But I’m proud of the fight that we showed today. I’m proud that we were able to compete for 40 minutes with all the adversity, low numbers, and barriers that were put in our way. So this is something that we can build on for the ACC tournament.”
