I attribute our success to just having a solid combination of players over the last few years. We have always had outstanding players we've been able to rely on.

We've been a streaky team. We had a nice start last night in our win over Maria Carrillo and almost let it get away. We made a lot of shots early. We knew Windsor was a tough team. They are well coached, and they didn't quit. I think they will be a factor in their league.
