We couldn't put it in the ocean in the first half. That first half killed us. We started off slow and weren't able to rebound.

Turnovers killed us. They went on a huge run that broke our back.

We were working hard on defense, trapping and pressing, and that allowed us to get a lot of fast breaks. We didn't even have to go to a set offense in the first half, because our transition game was working good for us tonight.

We just played real good defense tonight, pressuring the ball all over the place. It's nice to get a win like this and we wanted to be in the championship game.

Coming into the tournament, we thought we could win it. That's the way we feel about every game. It was a little disappointing for our seniors. St. Mary's played a great game. We couldn't score in the second half. We couldn't get by the press.

I think they all played pretty well tonight, but my two girls in the middle really rebounded well. Hamilton really played well and controlled the pace of the game for us.
