We were taken aback by it. She was our head coach for the past two years. It was such a shock to hear she was going to be out for that long. It's tough that he came in as an assistant and all of a sudden you're a head coach, especially at a program like IHA.

You always want a chance to prove your point. This year, we've been given a chance to show we can win.

This is great because we lost to them earlier in the season at home and you don't forget someone celebrating on your home court like that. I feel like we have something to prove in this tournament.
