We've been around long enough to know that defense gives you a shot to win any game. We've done a pretty good job of almost demanding it from everyone else this year.

Last year, there were some nights we'd play defense, then some nights we would let our offense just do it.

We knew our depth would eventually wear them down. We did a much better job of transition defense in the second half and stuck with our offense.

Kim organized our defense; she is exceptional at 1-on-1 defending, has great speed and is one of the best defenders in our league.

How good their defense was when they won the Super Bowl, any defense aspires to be that good. They came out and dominated throughout the year and that's what we would like to do on defense, go out and dominate every game and be one of the best defenses in the league.

We have excellent defense, and we also can put the ball in the back of the net. We're fundamentally strong across the board.
