The pressure was on them and they swam well. I said to the rest of the team looks like the tone is set, who can continue? Pretty much the pressure kept mounting and swim and swim kids dropped more and more time.

Shutting them out on the first quarter was big. That set the tone for the rest of the game.

B-G is a well-balanced team. Jennifer Patten is the key cog to the wheel, but the rest of the team is solid. There's nobody you can forget about. I really think Patten makes them go, but the other girls do all the things that don't show up in the box score ? and they really get after you defensively.

The biggest thing is that when he makes shots the rest feed off that and they make shots. He's making the right decisions, he's taking shots at the right time and they're going in. That's the biggest thing. He's also been better defensively. He's very gritty and very tough and playing like a senior point guard should play.

We had a hard August, so it was good to get our guys a week off so they could rest and heal up.

We came out and had a good first couple of shifts of the game and then we spent the rest of the period in the penalty box. There's nothing like giving the other team momentum when you're putting them on the power play all the time, and obviously the Czechs were able to finish.
