The win was the second in a row for Washburn and coach Marcie Barbarula said she likes the way her team is competing.
“The girls are gaining confidence in themselves and are coming together as a team,” Barbarula said. “They are working very well together and having girls come off the bench and contributing the way they have the past couple games has been a huge asset.”
