We came off a little rusty from the (10-day) break. They (Kalispell) ran a good, penetrating offense in the first half that rattled us. They were getting easy baskets and we weren't shooting the ball very well. We needed to change things up so I went with a little younger lineup with Kelsey Ham in there because she's such a quick little guard on defense. She turned out to be a little spark for us and the rest of the players did little things well, which is what it's going to take.

This is a good bunch of girls. They really have understood their roles this year. They haven't always gotten the playing time that they're accustomed to. They're a good motivation for the team; they try to keep the morale pretty high.

I was very happy with the way the girls came out. They went hard at the basket. We used a lot of our inside-outside game, which is our strength.
