Coach Christa Fabre's thoughts:
"West Florida is such a strong team with a great offense. Their setter does a great job running the offense and has plenty of options. We did some things well but definitely struggled defensively. To beat a team like them requires a lot of discipline and we didn't have it tonight. Quick turnaround against a tough team to finish our regular season!"
