QUOTABLES
Head Coach Keyton Wheelock
Thought on the game: I am so proud of this team and the character and fight these girls have shown throughout this season. Texas State is a well coached team with a lot to throw at us. Our girls buckled in and fought for the right to play in their first ever (Sun Belt) conference tournament. We are going to enjoy this for about 24 hours then get to work for our first round.
UP NEXT
-ULM will now begin to prepare for the Sun Belt Conference Championships. The Warhawks will officially find out their opponent later on Sunday when the conference releases the full bracket.
