came difficult extremely knocked physical zone
BYU is a physical, physical team, and I thought they came out and manhandled us. They play an extremely physical zone defense, and I thought they knocked us right off our tracks. They made it difficult for us to find shots.

I'm very proud of Vanessa. I saw her as a spark tonight and it was nice to see the things she could create. I really liked the effort and execution on the court, it reflected our efficiency.
ability category effort game giving offensive plan plays proud rebounds satisfied shots
I'm really proud of our effort in this game. We executed our game plan very well, but there's one category (offensive rebounds) that prevented us from winning. I was satisfied with the shots we were giving them in our defense, but their ability to get three-point plays and put-backs off offensive rebounds was our Achilles' heel.
both diego past position san super teams
I do like our position in the bracket, but we've still got to get past that first game. For us and San Diego State, this is our Super Bowl, and both teams are desperate. It's all about this first game, really.
challenge improving
It's going to be a real challenge for us. I know we are improving but we need to keep making strides.

Smith is a Kodak, All-American candidate. More than scoring, she makes the people around her look better. She has earned her mark in history.

Tonight was clearly a mental game. They happened to fall for us in the first half, but we came up short in the second. BYU was able to elevate their game.
