In the meantime, head coach Kirsten Moore says the team will get a short respite. “I’ve read that the NAIA tournament is the most difficult tournament ever, trying to win a national championship with five wins in six days,” she says. “So we need to go in there as healthy and rested as we can. We’re going to rest, ice and take care of our bodies. Winning a big game in front of an amazing crowd gives us momentum going into nationals.”
