”We’ll assess that with the performance team, so big prayers for her. Right now, we’re going to rally for her and take this into tomorrow.”

”With a lot of the injuries we’ve had this season, I’m going to adjust to the situation and scenario. We’ll see who our opponent is and I’ll adjust from there.”
