Melissa Johnson led the Crimson with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Johnson, like the team as a whole, often was unable to come down with rebounds that could have easily been made.
"The rebounding is what killed us," Sturdy said. "In our timeouts, we talked about adjusting to the rebounds, but we just didn't ever bring it to the court."

As always, a loss shows a team what it needs to work on in its next practices.
"Hopefully, [this game] will give us the fire we need to work really hard over Christmas break," Sturdy said. "Hopefully we can learn our lessons on the boards and learn our lessons on how to respond to pressure."
