CATCHING UP WITH COACH GOODENBOUR:
"Great to get a win versus San Diego. They are always a tough opponent because they play so hard and defend really well. Claudia and Kennedy stepped up on the offensive end of the floor tonight when we needed them. It was good to have Amalie back on the floor, she played superior defense and gave us some good rebounding and a couple of key baskets as well. Another great team effort.
