Reynolds Center. Tulsa improved to 4-8 on the season and 1-0 in league play, while the Pirates fell to 6-7 and 0-1.
"I am just proud of our kids. I thought we played well together. I thought we fought," said Tulsa Head Coach Matilda Mossman. "We've been in this situation so many times this year and it didn't work out in our favor and that is what we kept reminding our kids.
