The six-foot wing said she was thrilled with the game and the she and the team received from fans.
“It feels good to be able to contribute to the whole team,” she said. “The fans were obviously proud and it was good to see , it helps to make you want to play just as hard the next game. … Both my parents were there, they were really proud of me.”
Wallace said she’s pleased with how the team has been performing so far.
“We have a lot of potential to do well,” she said, “We’re 8-4 now, and we hope to keep going with that run and play as hard as we can.”
