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.
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.
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.
excellent great hit open plays second shots three
(Baker) made some great plays in the open floor. We keyed on her and got some turnovers in the second half. We fouled her three times on 3-point shots and she hit 8-of-9 free-throws. She's just an excellent player.
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.
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.
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.
