Sometimes it always doesn't get noticed. But I think we have a good core defense and as long as we concentrate on doing our thing in our zone I think that it will help our team the most.

It's always a boost when you have a great defensive play. It gets your momentum going and gives the team a little bit of jump going down the other way.

We're playing well right now. So hopefully we'll have a ways to go still.

We played just well enough to win. Our defense is quick and came up with some big steals.

Jacki beat us by herself. There's no one like Jacki. She plays a different game every time. There's no defense for her. The best thing you can do is let her score and not let the other players score. You've got to be mentally strong to play a team like St. Mary's. They're very disciplined.

Most people can motivate themselves to do things simply by knowing that those things need to be done. But not me. For me, motivation is this horrible, scary game where I try to make myself do something while I actively avoid doing it. If I win, I have to do something I don't want to do. And if I lose, I'm one step closer to ruining my entire life. And I never know whether I'm going to win or lose until the last second.
