 Players Perspective: 

Shar'Da Williamson: "Last couple games were difficult for us and we really needed to turn the page. Those games didn't play out like we wanted. But today we did start to turn that page. We are starting to play together, really starting to click."

Elisha Quinn: "We are finally starting to play together, we came out with great energy and just kept it up."

Gardy's Gab: "We had a good start, the energy was high, and it carried throughout the game. Williamson, Maddy, Elisha - they did great. The whole team showed glimpses and our defense was great. We were able to keep up the pressure. We have big conference games ahead of us, so it's on to Bryant & Stratton."

Next Up: The Lakers play Bryant and Stranton at Ursuline College Wednesday, 1/26. Tip off is 7:00 p.m.
