Ali stepped up and had a nice game. She made a couple of tough shots inside and was able to get to the free-throw line a few times. Miranda also stepped up her level of play.

Isaiah came in and stepped up to hit a couple of tough shots when the game got tight in the second quarter. We rotated him and Smith in there and both gave us good production.

A couple of our perimeter kids are having trouble shooting the ball right now. They'll have to shoot better when we play the conference teams. I thought our defense played pretty well the whole game. It's hard to hold a team to 50 points.

Every game in our conference is tough. We made a couple of nice plays there and that's hopefully where our experience pays off.

(Minnesota) took Cyndi totally out of the game. Nikki (Smith) stepped in and was able to knock some shots down.

Paul pitched his best game of the year. He only gave up three runs. Unfortunately, we only got one.
