It's very exciting for us.

It's the fourth- and fifth-place scores that make us win. They couldn't have done better.

I just told the girls to go all out.

This is obviously going to be an interesting week for us. We're going through some changes, with a new crew chief and a new engineer, and there will be an adjustment period for both myself and the team. But we all know Bob Osborne, and he's a great guy with a lot of knowledge. I'm looking forward to working with him and getting our season on track.

I'd rather have injuries early in the season than late in the season because it helps us with our depth. If we can get a victory here or there with some second-string guys, by the end of the season, we'll have more depth going into the playoffs.

This was a great win for us. I think we were anxious at first and rushed a bit. But we calmed down and played a great last 30 minutes. They're a very good team, ranked 19th in the RPI, so they're battle tested and very well coached. Their size and versatility make them hard to play against. I thought we did a good job offensively, especially running the clock at the end and getting great shots towards the end of possessions. Our defense still has a long way to go though.
