Quotable
"I was impressed with the performance," McCutcheon said. "Lots of good stuff happening at the pins for us tonight. I thought we had some good hitting from Adanna and Alexis and they did a nice job on the left side. The middles were good as was the passing. For the most part, we were in control of the match. I'm just proud of them for a nice well-rounded effort tonight and on to the next one."
