Even if she doesn't score much, she's still our emotional, vocal leader that you follow. When you're missing a leader, things are going to be shaky, at first.

Brant is coming out of his shell as a vocal leader. I knew we had something special when he committed to us before he was a junior in high school.

Bernie is a great leader. He's a really vocal guy and really intense and you can see that in the huddle. You know he's going to go out there and lay it on the line for you, and you've got to do the same for him.

He's always played like a leader out there on the field. But he's more vocal before we go out there, right before the games. He speaks up and kind of fires guys up.

I?m not where I want to be, nowhere near it, actually. I?m happy with the way I?m progressing though.

We practiced these situations and to not execute in the game, it's frustrating. Fortunately, this is only something minor in the big scheme of things. We still have the Big East and NCAA Tournaments. This was a terrible loss, but we can still make up for it.
