It would be hard to overstate the importance of this deal. It is our biggest single defense program.

No question Anacortes played outstanding defense after the first quarter.

I think our defense really threw them off because we got in their head with a lot of pressure and a lot of turnovers, which we got points off at the other end. That's what I think our best part is, defense.

Our defense was excellent, and that's where our offense starts.

Our defense in the second half was great. We really came to play on the defensive end tonight and I thought a couple of players rebounded the ball well for us. Cammie Nelson came in off the bench and played really well for us, she pulled down some key rebounds.

You lose a starting middle linebacker, ... thats the heart and soul of your defense.
