I think it's a matter of playing good defense, taking good shots and running my lanes.

We were playing good defense and we were running our offense okay but we had to pick it up. We kept it up. The coach said to pick up our intensity and execute.

I think it's a matter of staying healthy and confident.

Blame part of it on injuries, and last year we had a lot of seniors and Candice (Wiggins) really stepped up, so I didn't have a lot of opportunity to play. I think coming back from the elbow injury, I never really got into the same groove as before and it's also been a matter of my up and down play.

We got in their face, we were blocking shots, we got into the passing lanes. That's one thing we were working on — defense. No sense scoring five if they scored six.

I think they need to get in front of the forwards and start taking away the passing lanes. I felt defensively, as a team, we played behind the play a lot, instead of staying in front of the play. We weren't intercepting as much.
