Head Coach Dunn said his girls just did not shoot well during this game. "We had open shots, they just didn't go in. We shot 24% from the floor! We're not going to win a lot of games shooting like that. We have to find our shots, and we have to get better defensively. They had ‘way too many open shots on the perimeter." Dunn is hoping for a much better outcome on the Lady Panther's home court Friday night against Frankston, stating firmly, "We're going to work together to get better." The tipoff set for 6:00 p.m.,
