They came at us with a lot of defensive energy and we didn't match or surpass it.

Having Matt come back for the Army game meant so much to the rest of us. To see how much Matt cares about Navy basketball and how badly he wants to be there for the team ... it's just very uplifting.

Kennard-Dale started out fairly strong with some energy to beat us in our flat system and we got a bit disorganized. Putting Taylor in there gave us a lift and that third goal seemed to take some energy out of them. She has become fairly crafty in there and she can score goals. We needed a little jolt and she provided that.

I knew we had the fight in us. I didn't know if we had the energy.

Matt sets a great example with the way he comes to practice every day and plays through pain. It's to the point now that he can barely walk after games. We're all amazed and impressed by his dedication and determination.

I've been focusing more on the defensive side of my game and that's making me more confident on offense.
