PRATS' POINTS
Quotes by Coach Tiffany Prats:
On the team's performance at the Fighting Camel Classic:
"This tournament isn't how I wanted our fall season to end. The girls are better than they played and they definitely let themselves down. You work hard in off-weeks to perform in this environment and it didn't happen."
On her overall impressions of her first fall season as coach of the Herd:
"The fall was a step forward on our quest to get Marshall to the top of Conference USA and national rankings. This off-season they are all committed to working hard in the weight room and on the course, which will be key next semester."
