Quotable from Coach Chad Willis
"I'm really proud of our effort tonight. Backs against the wall, on the road, and we stayed in the fight. I've said many times I don't think our conference record is indicative of our potential or the work we put in so we're really happy for the girls. They deserve it. Hopefully, it's a big dose of confidence heading down the stretch, and we can continue to work, build and get a little bit better each day."

Next Up
The Eagles travel to Little Rock for a 7:30 p.m. ET contest tomorrow night.
