We thought we were in for a shoot out, but we were able to shut them out the rest of the way. Hats off to our defense for that.

We're putting in a new system and that is a lot for the kids to learn. The first thing we need to do is change the losing attitude. We've only won five games in the past three seasons, so getting these kids to believe they can win is where it all starts. Teaching them to win is our first challenge.

We had planned out the entire rest of the season, and it didn't end up being what we thought it was going to be. We have been rewriting frantically over the last couple of weeks.

I thought Ilona and the rest of the low post players did an excellent job. We've been working on that all year and tonight I think we were finally able to execute it and take advantage of our size inside.

We'll be in teal the rest of the year. I just thought that a team coming out of the Northwest, why not put them in their dark uniforms?

I was so proud when I saw that. I thought, 'That's how it should be.' That kid the rest of his life will kick himself because he didn't make it.
