The girls don't feel good about it. They know we need to put it behind us and concentrate on (tonight). |
They kept hanging around and we couldn't close them out. I told the girls they better be ready. I think we might have overlooked them, but we still put the game away. |
This is what we look forward to. This is how it should be. |
Those two are going to score. It's just a matter of holding the other ones down a bit. |
Up until the second quarter, we had not been a very good team in our three league games. |
We are playing really well now. Our three-quarter-court, man-to-man defense really pressured them. |
We came out a little excited. Our first seven shots were all 3-pointers. In the second quarter, we started being more patient. That's when we really took off. |
We didn't play very well, and Colleen Smith came off the bench and ignited us. We took off from there. |
We had eight or 10 on roads. We had another six go down inside the sewer plant property. |
We had some stupid plays at the end. But we went out with all our guns blazing. I'm very proud of the girls. |
We have nine kids that had never played in the playoffs before, so that was a good first game for them. That's why you work hard in the regular season, to get a good seed. |
We just picked it up and started playing good belly-to-belly defense. We picked up the intensity and started making things happen. |
We knew it was going to be tough on their court and they're a program that is coming up. They really made us work hard and they hung in there. |
We knew where their scoring was going to come from. They didn't know where ours would come from. Jenny made a couple of 3s, which I think they were surprised to see. |
We know we have to do it. |
