ability category effort game giving offensive plan plays proud rebounds satisfied shots
I'm really proud of our effort in this game. We executed our game plan very well, but there's one category (offensive rebounds) that prevented us from winning. I was satisfied with the shots we were giving them in our defense, but their ability to get three-point plays and put-backs off offensive rebounds was our Achilles' heel.

I'm very proud of Vanessa. I saw her as a spark tonight and it was nice to see the things she could create. I really liked the effort and execution on the court, it reflected our efficiency.
