I was really pleased with our second-half defense. I expected better and they came out in the second half and it all came down to communicating better on the floor.

I thought she did a great job. She really played great defense tonight.

Taylor and Bailey hit such important shots. Taylor's defense is amazing. She has no fear. She just went right at them and did a great job.

Only two teams finish the season with a win -- the team that wins the state title and the third-place finisher. The fact that we ended up where we did, I think we surpassed what many people thought we could accomplish. That's a credit to our girls.

She had a huge bump, but she wasn't sure what hit her. It swelled up when she was out there. She didn't want to come out of the game because she's such a tough kid. It was big (losing her at that point).

We came out strong to start the second half, and I think that helped set a tempo for us.
