Coach Christa Fabre's Thoughts:
 
"UWF is an all-around phenomenal team and they had some good matchups with us. They had a lot of time to scout and they shut down our big hitters. They have weapons on every front.
 
We didn't give our absolute best. This team has sometimes struggled at the start of matches. We started to pick up progressively but against a really good team it is hard to comeback. 
 
It was such a good season but has been a huge rollercoaster. We had really high high's and really low lows. But it has been a good learning opportunity for a young team. So many big moments to learn from and I am excited for the future."
