I was very proud of the girls today. They rose to the challenge and did what they needed to do. That (49-48) loss yesterday was really hard on them, but they were able to bounce back.

The girls stepped up to the challenge of playing in a tough gym, and they were able to keep the crowd out of the game with a strong offense.

Knowing our girls we will grow from this. The seniors will challenge the entire squad to refocus and improve their concentration on shooting at our practices.

(Hidden Valley) was really prepared for us. That was good. We liked the challenge. Our girls had great composure and showed what IV basketball is all about.

We expected a tough challenge today. The difference in the game at Radford was that we out-rebounded them by 14 and we hit eight out of 14 three's. So we figured that with the fact they had a week to practice basically getting ready they were going to do a good job challenging us at the 3-point line and be a little tougher on the boards. That was obviously the difference in the game.

The bridal gown of this season is going to have some color in it. Girls today are not so stuck on the traditional white gown. Brides don't feel that they need to wear white anymore.
