It's great to be able to know that you can go deep on your bench if people get in foul trouble or get tired or are having an off night.

When you get in foul trouble it helps to know you have solid people to bring in and help out. It's also helped in practice, when we have a second team that can keep up with the first team.

Losing Meredith hurt our rotation more than anything else. With her in there it allowed me to rest certain people. But when when she left, I couldn't do that and it was a factor.

She was just like another starter for us. She gave us energy.

She had a will to compete. She would play any position for us, one through five.

Hopefully we're growing. We may not have advanced, but hopefully we're growing and maybe the young kids understand what it takes to get to this level. Now we've got to figure out how to get back.
