"It's all about accepting the challenge of being able to move forward and fix the things that we can and coming together as a team," associate head coach Shana Welch said. "We just need to move on to the next thing. There were good things that we did and things that we'll need to fix in Michigan this weekend. As long as we can work on the fixables this week, we'll be ok moving into this weekend."
