The Lady Dogs made just seven shots in the loss. “We continued to struggle on offense,” said Todd. “They are long on defense and made it very hard for us.”
The Lady Dogs also had 27 turnovers. “You just don’t have a chance against good teams when they force you into that many turnovers,” Todd said.

“We have to do a better job of attacking the paint,” Todd said.
