Defense sets the standard for our game. The refs let us play a little rough on defense, and that's the way we like to play.

The defense got it out well and I flicked it to Pablo. He read the play beautifully and hit it back to me. I just went around the defender and put it in.

It's great for us to face a team like that, ... It really forces us to play great defense.

We have a long ways to go. We didn't play any defense. Again, it's no gray area with us. If we don't play any defense, we're not going to win. Chalk this one under no defense.

We couldn't make any shots and we didn't play very good defense in the first half, which got us in a hole. I give them credit - they're a heck of an offensive team. They're a tough team to guard. We shoot 38 percent and the other team shoots 53 percent, it makes it tough.

Another sound defensive game for us, and that's been our key. If we play sound defense and back up our pitchers then we're coming out on top.
