She dominated. She killed us from inside and from the free throw line. We couldn't drive the ball, and the one thing that kills us is when get unbalanced in our scoring. Amanda was proving us with a lot of points in the first half, but when they shut her down in the second, we didn't have anyone there to pick up the slack.

After the first half, we realized they didn't have the offensive guns to beat us, so we settled back into a 2-3 defense. There's no need to press when you can beat them with a straight defense.

We were able to dictate the pace of the game and they didn't attack us. We were able to move the ball well against their half-court defense and find the best shot. We did a lot of things well. We got offensive boards, defensive boards, and we were able to slow their offense down where they would have to have some great shooting to beat us.

The key for us down the stretch is going to be our balance. We have a lot of talent, but we need to step up and play as a team.

We had a couple defensive lapses in that inning, but we were able to keep our heads in the game and answer right back.

That's what we're looking for is balanced scoring. If we can get balanced scoring, we're going to be successful.
