The Lady Toppers come into their game tomorrow on a nine-day break.

“We have had the opportunity to get bangs and things healed up a little bit, we’ve taken the day off, we came back and practiced real hard yesterday and we are about to get back to it today, I think the girls mentally are in a good place,” Head Coach Greg Collins said when asked about the extended break.
