force key others players score three
You're not going to keep her to nothing, but you want to keep her to three or below. We have to key in on the other players and force the others to score for them.
consistent effort hard lose played struggling today
You never like to lose in that way, by that margin. But we've been struggling with consistent effort and today everyone played hard the whole game.
arguably best class coming hopefully last looks loss motivating recruiting team year
They have arguably the best recruiting class in the country. They're going to be a completely new team with different looks and different strengths. Hopefully coming off of that loss to them last year is motivating our team. There's no way we can take this team for granted.
attack continue defensive great improvement improving momentum opportunity room work
We've been improving on a lot of things, but there is still a lot of room for more improvement. This will give us a great opportunity to work on our attack and some of our defensive weaknesses. It's also a momentum builder. We have to continue to play well.
conference parity step taken tougher tournament
In our conference, no one has taken a step back. There's going to be a lot more parity and I think our conference tournament is going to be tougher than it has ever been.
beginning ease expected might stress year
Danni had a stress fracture at the beginning of the season, and we had to ease her in. We always expected her to contribute. For her size, you might not expect it, but she's going to have a big year for sure.
attack care defense lost physical played
It was just a really frustrating game. They were very physical with us and we lost our composure. I thought our defense played well, but our attack just couldn't take care of the ball.
both came class freshman large program struggled stuck
They both came in with a very large freshman class that struggled a bit, but they really stuck it out. They've contributed so much more to the program than just stats.
affect improve win
It's really not about a win or a loss. We need to improve upon what we've been addressing. Win or lose, it doesn't really affect who we play.
bad chances coming games knew loss three
She was on fire. You kind of knew that was going to happen. They were coming off of a loss and she had a bad game. Chances are that she's not going to have three bad games in a row.
care games good win
There's not a lot of good to say today. It was frustrating. You just don't win games if you can't take care of the ball.
ball five four good great might perfect score third though three wait
Even though we've got great attackers, we might have one good first look, but we want to wait for the third perfect look. But if we give the ball to Vanderbilt four or five times in transition, they're going to score three or four out of those four or five chances.
believe close either looked played sidelines team though
We haven't really had a lot of close games. They've been a blowout either way. I looked at the sidelines and it looked like the team wanted it. There have been times where I think they didn't believe in themselves. Even though it was a loss, we played well.
