beat easiest eventually figure point seed win
The seed was about what we expected. We don't think we got necessarily the easiest draw, but we figure we'll have to beat every at one point eventually if we want to win the section.
brings handle impressed played pressure quickness sophomore spark
She made some big plays. For a little sophomore to handle the pressure like she did was great. She brings a lot of quickness and a spark to us. I'm really impressed with how well she played tonight.
good hated loss might pathetic
I hated that loss Colfax. It was the most devastating loss I've ever experienced - which might make me look a little pathetic - but it was good for the team. It made us tougher.
hopefully learn mistakes obviously strong tougher
Obviously they made some mistakes down the stretch. They learn from little things like that, and hopefully it will make tem a little tougher and really want to come back strong when we play at Colfax. We still have a long way to go.
coming definitely games hard hoping loss stronger talk tough
It's not something we really talk about, but they definitely know that's the first loss we've ever had in this league. It's definitely hard for them. It's a tough loss right now, but I'm hoping it makes them stronger in some of our games coming up.
gave league seed
It was really big (the win), it gave us a league championship and assures us of at least a No. 3 seed in the playoffs.
calls few game hurt second tough
It was a tough game and I think there were a few questionable calls on Lauren. And that hurt us in the second half, especially when she fouled out. That made it tough for us.
best defend depend games playoff shots
In playoff games like this, it comes down to who can defend the basket. We can't depend on how we are going to shoot, especially in a place like ARCO Arena. we have to defend the best we can and make enough shots to win.
five fourth gave given halftime happy played quarter second string
By halftime we had given up 17 points. Our second string played the whole fourth quarter and only gave up five points. I was really happy with them.
defense giving good hit quarter
In the first quarter we started out really flat. We got a lot of good shots, but we didn't hit any of them and on defense we were giving up shots. It was kind of scary, really.
commitment
We made a commitment to play well defensively.
played quarter second turned
We played real well defensively in the first quarter and then we turned it up offensively in the second quarter. By halftime, we pretty much had it under control.
came close energy fairly fourth pull
We came out without a lot of energy and it was fairly close to halftime. But we were able to pull away in the fourth quarter.
concerned decent handle match nervous overall
I was really nervous about this game. The whole day, I was freaking out about it, I was worried. I was a little concerned about how we'd match up and how we'd handle their pressure, but I think overall we did a decent job.
