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.
game good knew lost
It was a good game. They were a good team. They only lost to Colfax by three, so we knew they were tough.
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.
both either fourth games gone happy played quarter throughout won
I'm really happy with how we played throughout the whole tournament. We won two games that could have gone either way and played really well in the fourth quarter of both games.
advice ask best coaches great resource situations talk
We talk all the time. I like to ask him for advice because he's been in these situations before. He's such a great resource and one of the best coaches I'll ever know.
care foul free hit lauren throws took trouble
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.
last near team year
And we wouldn't have been near the team we were last year or the team we are this year without her contributions.
fast
Erin really got us off to a fast start.
lead nice six time
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.
ball care fourth good job moving quarter run taking
We did a good job of taking care of the ball in the fourth quarter and moving it around to run out the clock.
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.
