“The first quarter was pretty good. We broke the press well, but couldn't execute offensively,” Mossyrock coach Autumn Moorcroft said. “We gave up too many putbacks from lack of defense and not boxing out. We got frustrated in the third quarter having a difficult time scoring, and it was too late to bridge that gap in the fourth.”
