The first half I thought we did some pretty good things trying to keep their main players under control. But they're great players and they made some tough shots.

Being in her home state, she feels like she has something to prove.

In the course of the game, those shots can be killers.

Last year was more of an eye-opening experience. We were wide-eyed walking around Seattle. Now we know what it's all about and we're going there with a purpose.

I just thought I couldn't get into a rhythm in the first half. In the second half my teammates stepped up behind me and gave me a little boost. Once we got going, the game was a lot more fun.

Once we calmed down a little bit and got over the initial embarrassment, I guess you could say, we looked at the season as a whole and we're proud of ourselves. 15-1 teams, they come and go, but a 16-0 team you'll always remember. We're glad to be in the books.
