“I think we fought as hard as we could fight. Unfortunately, we ended up on the wrong side of things,” said head coach Fran Flory. “We did not play as gritty as we needed to. We started great but we could not maintain it. It was a hard-fought match. You must credit Georgia because they made some incredible plays. They dictated the outcome more than we did and that is the story of the match. It is sad to end for these seniors, but they gave their heart to this program, and we appreciate them.”
