She's a tough woman and if anyone can comeback from that she can. |
She's done a great job of adding a little spark. She's a really feisty defender. |
The second half we settled in more and just played a little bit more focused. This was just kind of a random game. It was a tough flow to get into, but we hung in there with our defense. |
The thing is, Elyse is a good shooter. She's just been playing the point for us so she's had a lot of other things to focus on. It's not like she just got hot or something. She really a true two-guard. |
They beat us seven times in a row and three times at home. If we're not focused for this one we won't be ready for any game. |
They just play a really slow-paced game. That's something that we'll have to adjust to. |
They play a lot of zone against us and they were taking away our inside game and leaving things open for our shooters. Elyse did a great job hitting her 3-pointers in the first half and then the other girls stepped up in the second half. |
This is going to be a rematch of a game they probably feel they should have won. They're a good team and it's going to be a tough game. |
This was a great win. The monkey is off our back. Now we can step forward and do the things that we need to do. |
Tina's just been plagued by foul trouble lately. She took the ball to the hole in the second half and that was good to see, but it's been frustrating for her. |
We did what we needed to do. It was great to see some of our bench step up. They took the inside away and it's really just a matter of learning how to respond to what teams take away. |
We had an answer for everything and it was not just by one person, but by everyone. We wanted to make it a convincing win over a team that had lost just one starter from a squad that got to the national-championship game. |
We had heard about her in high school, but we weren't in a situation where we needed a post player at that time. Then we had a couple graduate, a couple get hurt, and we needed to find a CC post player. |
We just have to take care of business right now and try to beat SPU and NNU. That's all that we can control right now. |
We needed a game like this where we had to step up at the end. I'm upset we didn't play well, but it was good for us to be in this kind of situation. |
