It's nice to see the girls' hard work get recognized. Even though the preseason polls don't mean a whole lot, it does show that we are getting some respect.

This is an incredibly talented team. We have every element on this team. If we can come out with some fight and come out playing the way that we are capable of playing, then we will be virtually unstoppable. Now we just have to focus on that goal.
