Our girls ran well - East Peoria is a good team. But we'll have someone to go after next week. It's always fun to compete against them.

The girls ran a great race. They knew that they'd have to run very well and they did. That gives us a little boost in terms of next week because that sectional is going to be a very tight race.

We boxed out very well, holding St. Mary's to usually just one shot when they had the ball. The girls continue to amaze me with the intensity that they show on defense. And that 11-0 run to begin the game was the turning point. We also really weren't in any foul trouble.

That's the best we've played all season. The girls did a great job because we knew that we had to play the whole game against them.

One thing the girls always do is try hard and I'm proud of them for that.

The girls responded well and forced turnovers in the second half.
