I told them at halftime that the reason the game was close was that we weren't playing defense. We were playing defense with our arms instead of moving our feet.

That was big for us. She played real well down the stretch for us.

I talked to Megan before the game and told her that we are in league play now, and she has to work on her game. She has to be a little bit stronger, and a little bit meaner. She's the future as far as the (centers) are for us.

I'm happy for the win. We've been off for quite a while.

Running the football is all about attitude. It's the attitude of the guys up front, hitting the defense and maintaining their technique. We didn't have that attitude last year.

Defense is, for some reason, always an asset here.
