I had Sam on the bench to start tonight because I've been telling her for a year and half to look for her shot, and then she goes and shoots 4-for-6 for 12 points for her career best, along with four assists.

It was nice to get that win against a team like Skagit that we have such a good rivalry against.

It was just a tough shooting night, but the effort was there. The ball just didn't drop for us.

Jackie Zender came off the bench in the second half and really sparked us.

We persevered tonight. We got great production from our bench. The reserves were ready. I?m really impressed.

We've got to come out the same way we come out in the second half, ... We've got to start the game with some sense of urgency. Once teams start hitting shots and get a read on us, it's gonna put our backs against the wall. That's something we need to be concerned about.
