believe bit defense good helping offense players playing supposed team
We have been playing good team defense. The players are really helping each other out defensively and doing the things we are supposed to be doing. If we get a little bit of offense to go with our defense, we really believe that we can play with any team in that region.
bit conference five games graduated graduation growing guys lost missouri pitching ready seniors sort taking three trip
We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important. They're going to get a lot of games in and we can kind of sort things out a little bit to try to get ready for conference play down the road.
best bit came closer game good hard healthy hurt injury knee left lost obviously played player post remaining second shots stopping time
We came out and played a lot better in the second half, and played a lot more aggressive. We just had a hard time stopping them in the first half. They made a lot of good shots and really hustled. Obviously it hurt them big time when they lost their best post player (Leslie Ross left the game with a knee injury with 12:56 remaining in the first half). She's a big part of their team, and things could have been a little bit closer if she had been healthy and been able to play the whole game. It's unfortunate that she got hurt.
hard hits scoring time
We didn't get a lot of hits and didn't get a lot of scoring opportunities. When we did get runners, we had a hard time scoring them.
bottom few hits
We got a few hits from the bottom of the order, which is encouraging.
hard hit needed pitching pleased time
We had a hard time getting the big hit when we needed it. Overall, I was very pleased with our pitching and our defense.
anybody chance hold kindness pitching players playing runs score training younger
We're playing a lot of younger players and we're making a lot of young mistakes. It's kind of on-the-job training for our young guys. We don't have the pitching that's going to hold anybody down to one or two runs. We have to score some runs to have a chance to win.
coming great job momentum scared
We had them scared and had some momentum going. We did a great job of coming back.
basketball bringing centers excelled excited front good guards help large line players recruiting
We are very excited about this large recruiting class. I feel we are bringing in some guards that can help us immediately and some forwards and centers that will probably be our front line of the future. These players are not only good basketball players but most have excelled in different sports.
composure good hall job keeping needed run second stretch
We did a good job of keeping our composure when they made the run on us in the second half. Noelle Hall had some big baskets down the stretch for us, which is what we needed her to do.
ball hit
We had some chances. We didn't hit the ball particularly well.
job nice pitching save throwing trying
We're trying to save as much pitching as we can. He did a nice job of throwing strikes.
easy free hit lead miss point shot three
Miranda hit the three free throws, and they go down and miss an easy shot to end the half. That was a pretty big swing. An eight-point lead at that point in the game, with the way things were going, was pretty nice.
anyone beat best good inside outside played seen teams
If we had played our best game, we probably still wouldn't have won. As long as they have the inside and outside going like they did today, I don't know if anyone can beat them. UND has had a lot of good teams over the years, but I don't know if I've ever seen a better one.
