A big key was our rebounding tonight. This has been a point of emphasis for us and it carried us to the win,” BP head coach John Bruns said. “Many girls contributed on the glass with not only getting the boards, but also boxing out, pursuing the ball, and sometimes just getting a fingertip on the ball to deflect it.”
