The guards led the Panther offense as Senior Guard Laura Zwach hit for 20 points and Steph Kaup followed with 18. Kaup hit 2 three pointers and Zwach 1 for TMB.
"Our guards played really well," said Soupir. Laura (Zwach) had 5 or 6 assists to go with her 20 points and Steph (Kaup) had 8 rebounds to go with her 18 points. The fact that we had only 11 turnovers reflects the play of the guards."
