It's an absolute tribute to how hard Kim has worked.

No question she's got skills, some coach has to recognize it. One of the things she does is make other players better.

She has an unbelievable passion for the game, a passion for work. She's really made herself into a great player.

After the 2000 Olympics, veteran players came back wanting to pursue the goal of qualifying for a world championship. Everyone is thrilled about having achieved this objective and the feeling tonight around the locker-room was one of 'this is what we came here to do.

Our comeback in the second half was sparked by the contributions of the players coming off of the bench.

It was a great effort to get an 18-point turn around.
