Coach Pickard: "We had a tough back-to-back and the players gutted through a long five-set match with UMBC. UMBC defended their home court well and we had to raise our level of play to get past them today. Kamara Kelly took a ton of swings today and really made the most of her opportunities. She was smart in her play and it shows in the stat line."
