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.
few five hits second together tough
We had a tough second inning. They got a few hits and bunched them together for five runs.
composure good hall job keeping needed run second stretch
We did a good job of keeping our composure when they made the run on us in the second half. Noelle Hall had some big baskets down the stretch for us, which is what we needed her to do.
ball ended hands job keeping nice second shoots shots
Noelle shoots 55 or 56 percent. So the more shots you get her, the better off you'll be. Concordia did a nice job of keeping the ball out of her hands in the first half, but fortunately for us she was able to get going in the second and ended up having a nice game.
basket came couple good half looks played second shots
They got a couple of buckets late. But we also had some really good looks at the basket down the stretch, and we just couldn't get any to go down. We were down by 16 in the first half and came back, and we played really well in the second half to get back in it. We just couldn't make the shots at the end.
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.
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.
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.
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.
growing pains team
We are a young team and there will be growing pains but we will get better.
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.
job nice pitching save throwing trying
We're trying to save as much pitching as we can. He did a nice job of throwing strikes.
