Coaching staff: „After a hard-fought game, the girls managed to win against Switzerland. For most of the game, we were unfocused and didn’t execute what we had planned. We struggled against the Swiss zone defense and missed many easy points in offense. However, with strength, determination, and a bit of luck that the girls fought for, the team managed to come back from a 7-point deficit in the last 2:30 minutes. With well-executed offense, the team was able to secure the victory. »
