grieving happy hard process team
Even for me it's difficult, it really is. It's hard to say where the grieving process is, but I know right now I'm not happy with how the team is playing. I should say I'm more disappointed.
grew hard knew
I think she grew up and she knew that she had to play hard and play smart.
freshman hard players playing road
It's not that we're not playing hard. We're playing hard and we're playing a lot of young players who at times make freshman mistakes, so it's - particularly on the road - it's more difficult.
definitely equally forward future hard looking next start tough until wait
We definitely are looking forward to the future and next season. This has been hard on everybody. I think it is equally important that we wait until we get everyone back and start working out again. It has been a tough year, but it also has been very positive, too.

frustrated lose playing team
The team is frustrated because they want to win. We're playing to lose right now and not to win.
boards dominated game hurt second shooting

good katie players state three washington
Washington State has three good players in Katie Benz, Katie Appleton and Charmaine Jones.
conference good third washington
Washington is very good at home. They're in third place in conference and there is a lot of pressure. They play a lot of different people.
week
That week was surreal. We were numb, we made it through it.
