"Our win today came from pure team chemistry.  We limited our turnovers, we had our highest assist count to date, and we changed the mentally from defeat to fight," Penn College coach Britni Mohney said. "To come out after halftime and hold the team to 6 points allowed us to continue to build on our run.  It was a well-played team centered ball game today; and I look forward to building off that in games to come.
