Liz, obviously, came out and shot the ball very well. I thought Westbrook did fine. Nobody could stop Rivera. She was throwing in everything.

Once we settled down, I thought we had a chance. But when we were down nine points a few times with a chance to cut it to a five or seven point lead, we couldn't hit from the line. This is our first conference loss, and we have them down at our place in February, so all hope isn't lost.

Coffee broke out tonight. She only had one point against Westbrook. She's obviously very competitive and involved with the game. You can't hold her down very often.

We talked a lot about the beginning of the year as a team that we were definitely going to rebuild a lot and whatever we can take out of our season each game we were going to take it and apply it not only to this season but next as well. The girls have played very hard.

Overall, I was pleased with the way we played. North Branford was tough. They're always physical. In the fourth quarter we made it exciting by turning the ball over a few times because of their pressure.

We had an 11-0 lead but then we had an 11-point lead at halftime so they (Westbrook) essentially played us even, which I wasn't too happy with. But we were still in control of the game, which is fine.
