Freshman Hannah Wallen also pulled down 6 rebounds and Havilyn Dulin lead with four assists and four steals.  "We need to be much more aggressive on the defensive side of the ball.  We did enough to win tonight and that is always important.  Tomorrows practice is important to work on the little things."
