Give full credit to Audra Cohen, this was a match-up between two great student-athletes. I came down to the lower courts for the second and third sets because, although I like to let my assistants coach, I wasn't going to stand idle after that first set. I don't know how much strategy can be played when you're playing those kind of extremely long points, I think that the players are almost too tired for strategy. In the end, she just believed she could win the points. |
I was impressed with the way we came out. We were very focused, and we took care of business. To win 15 of the 16 first games is an incredible start. If we can do that tomorrow, that will be great. Today we won and played smart. If we continue to do that, we will do well. |
Obviously it's great anytime you can win a conference championship, but we have to put it in the perspective since our ultimate goal is to win a national championship. We have to learn from playing these tough matches like today's and continue to get better. |
