"We're not where we need to be yet," said head coach Lindsey Wilson. "These non-conference games are learning opportunities for us that show us what we need to be working on. We have to get to a point where we trust each other and with a lot of newcomers that can take time. We're going to need everyone to buy in as we continue to figure out our identity as a team."

The Sunbirds travel to Cal State East Bay this Saturday for a 7 pm game.
