Coach VanDerveer hit the nail on the head with her final statement.


"I feel very badly for our players, and all the athletes. What's really tough is that over 160,000 Americans have died. Sports is great; I love basketball and I love coaching. But what is really disappointing is just the way we as a country have not taken this on and defeated it the way we could and should have. We need to figure this out.",,,,
