ball defended good shot
It was a good win. We shot the ball well, especially in the first half, and we defended well.
defend difference foul four half hurt inside looks nice score second shots trouble
The big difference was when Juric got into foul trouble. She wasn't able to defend in the second half with four fouls. (Becca) Pugh was able to score on her inside on shots that usually she would block. Colfax got some nice looks off that. That really hurt 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.

With Lauren in foul trouble we had to go small. But we hit free throws at the end and took care of the ball.
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.

And we wouldn't have been near the team we were last year or the team we are this year without her contributions.

Erin really got us off to a fast start.

Every time they'd make a run, we'd make a play and they couldn't ever get the lead under six - which was nice for my heart.
pull shot
We shot well early, but never could pull away.

We did a good job of taking care of the ball in the fourth quarter and moving it around to run out the clock.

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.
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.
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.
