The Falcons did not go without positives, as they were able to see some of their younger players in the rotation; they fought for every bucket, and hustled until the final buzzer.

Fort Campbell head coach Tynisa Young said she would’ve loved to see her squad start playing the way they finished the game for all four quarters.

“Our younger players – some aren’t even in high school and playing up – they played with grit,” said Young. “I wish that we would have come out of the gates the way we finished it, because I truly believe that fourth quarter was ours. We just have to get back in the gym and keep playing fundamental basketball.”
