“This was a tough loss to swallow,” Austin head coach Anna Meyer said. “Owatonna is a solid team and they dominated the game on both ends of the floor tonight. We got off to a rough start and couldn’t pull ourselves back into it. I know we will all bounce back and be ready to go tomorrow night against Albert Lea.”
