Rookie Spartans coach Marika Williams told CBC that “I don’t think I breathed for like the second half of the game. … They were up and then we were up and then they were up and then we were up. … It was really amazing, like there’s nothing else I can say. The girls did so well, they worked so hard and they came to practice day in and day out. … They pick each other up, so if one was down someone’s going to come over and pat her on the back and say, ‘It’s OK. We’re still good or shoot that shot.’ Everything was really constructive and nothing was negative.”
