It was almost like we were playing not to lose. In the second half we were more patient offensively and picked up the intensity on defense.

Their big players made the plays when it counted and we didn't. Still, it is a tribute to the hard work of these girls that we finished as high as we did. When the season started, only a few believed we would come this far. We only played seven girls tonight, and they had some reserves that were able to rest some of the starters.

These girls have been a joy to coach. I hope we can continue for another couple of weeks.

We had a good shooting night. Our defense was good, and we played them tough under the basket. We're peaking at the right time.

We haven't been able to put a full team on the floor in practice in two weeks. Maybe we play better when we're sick.

Swain played a good, strong pressing defense against us, and we didn't handle it well in the second half. But a win is a win, even if it isn't pretty.
