"We are really excited to be able to play some more games this weekend," Saints coach Rachelle Sayers said. "Each day we get to be together on the court is an opportunity that we don't take lightly. We have an awesome training staff and our players have done a great job following protocols and taking every precaution that we can in order to have these opportunities.  It is going to be a great weekend of hoops."
