"I told them, 'Van Price doesn't go away,'" she said. "You've got to continue playing hard. It was frustrating." It was especially heartbreaking because it was her last game coaching the Hawks. Her husband accepted a job in Logan and the family will move to Cache Valley.

"It's been amazing," Jensen said of her 13 years at Alta, including nine as a head coach. "My first few years were pretty rough. Every year we got better and I'm really going to miss the kids. ... I would never leave these guys. But it's a great opportunity for my family."

In addition to Quigley, who finished with 17 points and four steals, Jalissa Bagley finished with 12 points and seven rebounds, while Chloe Ferre added 13 points, four rebounds and three assists.
