Coach Chris Mouat said, "This was a big win for us.  Northwest came into the weekend undefeated and they have a very nice team.  They have excellent size and length and two very good guards.  We did an excellent job on the boards and played sound defense throughout the night.  Offensively, we had great inside-out balance.  Sierra was outstanding tonight and had probably her best game as a Skylight."

Mouat said, "We are very excited to be a part of the Rotary Classic.  Jackson, Tennessee was the home of the NAIA Division I National Tournament for years, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to play against two outstanding teams. "
