Once you get the ball rolling you relax and it gets a little bit easier to knock some of those shots down. They looked like they were having fun again tonight.

We are excited to have Leah join our winning tradition, not only good on the basketball court but as an outstanding academic student. She has a great personality and all the makings of an outstanding player. Her total package fits right into our system.

I think if we'd gotten to the national tournament, she would have been able to display (her talents). I watched several of the (national tournament) games on the Internet and I think she can play with the best of them.

She's just worked really hard for it; obviously she drew a lot of attention from conference schools.

We picked it up into a different gear as far as our defense goes. The kids just stepped up, put some pressure on (Dickinson) and forced some turnovers.

The learning curve is hard sometimes. But they believe in the system and each other. That's huge.
