\n“We’re pretty disappointed with how we showed up today. I do think that the game on Thursday took a little bit more out of us than I think the players wanted to admit. We’ve got to find ways to win games in different ways, and today I just think we ran out of ideas. We have to keep working, recover first and foremost, physically start feeling a little bit better, but we need to really look at ourselves in the mirror and identify and start believing in the things that we know we can do better. I think this next week is about finding the belief again and making sure that we can bring the best version of ourselves when we face LMU,” said UC San Diego head coach Kristin Jones ’04<\/a>.<\/p>\n
