THEY SAID IT
Baylor Head Coach Ellen White on the Bears' newcomers performing well.
"I am happy we got a chance to put some freshmen in. I liked the way they really stepped up to the plate, and they really did a good job. We really have a lot of people pushing, which is such a great competition to have internally on our team. I think we have some tougher teams coming up, but bring it on. We can do it."
