needed tough
We needed to get a win. We needed to get through tough times on the court.
anyone good home returned seniors team tough washington year
When you play anyone on their home court, I think it's going to be a tough game. Washington is a real good team and they're going to play a lot of people. They returned everyone from a year ago and all their seniors are fifth-year seniors.
attacking key time tough zone
We had a tough time with Smith. I thought the key was when they went to a zone and we didn't adjust. We were not attacking the zone as we could have.
adversity cal couple effort game good great home kids number team total tough win
It was a great win considering the adversity of being without a couple of players. Cal has a very good team and a very tough home court. I was really pleased. It was a total team effort with a number of kids who haven't had a big game in a while.
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.

They put everything they had into Thursday's game. Even though it wasn't back-to-back, to do two games in three days it's tough when your numbers are down.
playing
We were like playing 2 on 5 out there. I mean, really.

With Kelsey, every game is a possible game when she can have a career-high. We knew she was talented and had potential, but potential is nothing unless you put it all together.
either
We think it's an MCL. Hopefully, she won't need surgery. But either way, it'll take her out for a little bit.
coming forward kids taller
We're going to be much taller and have a lot more depth. All the kids we have coming in are very successful, and we very much look forward to having them here.
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.
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
The thing that really hurt us was turnovers and shooting percentage. We didn't get much from our posts. We were out-rebounding them at halftime, and they just dominated the boards in the second half. This was a very disappointing game for us.
good katie players state three washington
Washington State has three good players in Katie Benz, Katie Appleton and Charmaine Jones.
