bats beat close games gave guys league played position swinging wayne
I thought we played really well all day long. To play them as close as we did in two games gave us some confidence. Wayne is 19-1 in the league and we were right in position to beat them twice. We had some guys swinging the bats well.
caught easy executing flashes game good great job offense overhead physical plan switching
Winona's a physical team. But I thought we had a good game plan going in. They like to do a lot of switching and we caught them a lot on flashes going to the basket. We scored some easy baskets on overhead lobs, and we did a great job of executing our offense the way we wanted to.
bats behind close decent game nice played swing
We did swing the bats pretty decent in game one. We played from behind but were able to make a nice comeback. The game was close for most of it.
bit conference five games graduated graduation growing guys lost missouri pitching ready seniors sort taking three trip
We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important. They're going to get a lot of games in and we can kind of sort things out a little bit to try to get ready for conference play down the road.
baseball both game gave good job keeping nice pitching played run
They each gave up one run and did a really nice job of pitching and keeping us in the game. We didn't get enough hits. It was a very good baseball game and very well pitched and played on both sides.
best game gave paul three
Paul pitched his best game of the year. He only gave up three runs. Unfortunately, we only got one.
develop example game games great hard improve perseverance summer worked
It was a great example of perseverance on Sara Jensen's part. She has worked very hard over the summer to improve her game and develop confidence, and she has had some outstanding games for us this season.
best bit came closer game good hard healthy hurt injury knee left lost obviously played player post remaining second shots stopping time
We came out and played a lot better in the second half, and played a lot more aggressive. We just had a hard time stopping them in the first half. They made a lot of good shots and really hustled. Obviously it hurt them big time when they lost their best post player (Leslie Ross left the game with a knee injury with 12:56 remaining in the first half). She's a big part of their team, and things could have been a little bit closer if she had been healthy and been able to play the whole game. It's unfortunate that she got hurt.
certainly
It certainly didn't feel like a 10-point win, I can say that.
defend inside outside
You just can't defend inside and outside at the same time.
growing pains team
We are a young team and there will be growing pains but we will get better.
free good half hardly key lead line second shoot throws time
It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.
hard hits scoring time
We didn't get a lot of hits and didn't get a lot of scoring opportunities. When we did get runners, we had a hard time scoring them.
four free hard needed shots stretch swing technical time
We only made two out of the four technical free throws. So it wasn't like it was a six-point swing or anything. They just had a hard time making shots after that and we executed down the stretch and did the things we needed to do to win the game.
