Head coach Spencer Smith was proud of his team both today and throughout this season. "There were tough conditions in today's game. It was one of those games that if we got a break, maybe, it would have ended differently but we just couldn't get that break. But I am proud of our girls and the season that we've had and credit to High Point who played very well."
