It was a big blow. We had to pull it together and play hard.

That's our thing. We give 100-percent effort out there. Thanks for giving us that credit. I just wish we could have gotten the win.

We basically tried to focus on playing hard, and we came through at the end of the game. We had a stretch where we caused turnovers, and stopped fouling so much. We had to put it together. It was tough down the stretch but we hit big shots and caused turnovers.

I really got to develop a lot and play a lot down there. The coaches really helped me and really made me feel comfortable playing in all situations. It was a good year all around for the team.

They came out with a lot of heart. They just played so hard. Our goal has been to play 32 minutes, and play hard the whole time. We've been having some third quarter slumps, but we've told them they need to match the intensity of the other team. They did that tonight.

She's just worked so hard. She has a great attitude and she's sacrificed to play.
