Our defense and hitting were finally coming together.

In a way, I think it was good. This year we have so much more experience and confidence. It's kind of like we're a step ahead this year.

Kelly's hitting carries us a lot. She's got the biggest arm swing on the team.

I can't believe we won that first game.

We are intense on the inside. We just weren't putting it out there on the court.

When you're walking at the airport, you're expected to smile at people because they know you... I find that tough. I'm only trying to protect myself. So I don't take my eyes off the floor. People can take that as attitude. But it's actually shyness. Yes, it is a bad habit. But it's a defense mechanism.
