Their defense is, right now, winning games for them.

These are two league games that are very crucial games for us to win. They have to head in with confidence, but at the same time respecting that Hayden is coming in looking for revenge. The coaching staff is letting these girls now this will be a tough game.

Hayden had a great transition game. That was what we mostly talked about. We needed to use our feet more instead of going for the steal.

They let them a little bit back into the game. We knew West Grand had it in them. I think it was something they learned real quickly. You can't let down when you have a whole quarter left to play.

They weren't going to let someone else come into their gym and win.

Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.
