"Another battle tonight and good to get the road win to finish off our regular season," stated Spartans Head Coach Carly Gallagher, "We trailed most the game and finally got it going in the fourth quarter to pull away. I was proud of our team. We had back to back road games that could have gone either way for us and it was good to get this win. We have our sights set now on the post season."
