COACH DEWITT-SEVERSON SAID
“I thought Mycah had a good night. A lot of good things happen when she touches the ball whether she gets a shot and she’s learning to kick it out a little better. She gets some offensive rebounds for us and she gave us a really nice night. I thought Kim Kroeze played really hard for us. I was proud of her effort. She really pushed through. I thought those two really set an example for how hard we want them to play,” said Dordt College coach Katie DeWitt-Severson.
