We got off to a little bit of a slow start but continued to tighten the defensive screws as well as putting our offensive efficiency together.

Their seniors stepped up and made free throws - I think of the two one-and-ones there at the end. You have to tip your hat to them. I don't think we lost it or gave it away as much as they made plays and won it.

You get to this time of year and one of the things we try to do is keep their legs fresh. When you know that you can go out there and go hard for three, four or five minutes... And then you're going to get a break, and that kid coming in behind you is going to provide a spark, it frees you up to do more.

It's amazing. I sit there and just watch her grow in leaps and bounds every game. She's given us that presence down low as far as the points, and that's just so important for us because those are the consistent points that are always going to be there. The threes may not be, but you know the five-footers... You can knock down at a high percentage.

I thought we played very good, consistent defense throughout. I was also pleased with our decision-making as we only turned it over seven times. Our balance was very good as well as we had 11 different players score.

Our team was maybe a little satisfied coming into the game. Right now we're just trying to find something to motivate them (again).

Overall, I was very happy with the way we responded. We were either going to come out angry and upset and get that bad taste out of our mouth, or we were going to come out overconfident since we got (Glenwood) by 40 last time. I told them I wanted to see the first team - the one that was angry and wanted to take it out on somebody. It wasn't Glenwood's fault that we lost, they just happened to be next up on the schedule.

We needed this. It was kind of what the doctor ordered because last week we struggled in terms of scoring. We put up 44 against Red Oak and 48 against LC, and our offense is better than that. It wasn't a case where we were turning it over, it was a case where we didn't shoot well, and tonight we shot it very, very well. We got some confidence back.

Hopefully the situation doesn't overwhelm them though. Because a the same time it's still a game, and I think this group does well when they can relax.

Hopefully we will be able to go out and give it everything we have.
