biggest definitely three wins
It's one of the biggest wins in my three years. We're definitely peaking at the end.
blocking court heart likes medical permission practice rate
Anything you need her to do, she'll do. Even on the court at practice, in drills. We got permission for that from the medical staff. She can be on the court as long as her heart rate doesn't get up there. She likes getting out there and blocking everyone's shots.
five four realize surprised
I was so into the game. I didn't realize she had four (fouls). I was a little surprised she had five and was in there at that point.
consistent impact knew leading recruiting team
Back when we were recruiting her we knew she would be an impact player. She kind of does it all for us. She's leading the team in steals. She's been pretty consistent for us all year.
along dance-and-dancing gets loves people side
She gets along with everybody. She's always dancing, she loves music. That's a side of her that people don't see.
beginning creates defense focused frustrated hanging heads kept looking open people plan scoring stick struggled tried
At the beginning of the year, if we would have struggled like that, we would have had a lot of people hanging their heads and it would have just escalated. They just bounced back, kept looking for what was open and kept focused on the target. I wasn't too concerned. I tell them, 'If we're not scoring that's OK, we just need to get stops.' Defense creates some offense. I tried to stick with the plan and not get too frustrated with them.
ball composure dug handle job nice ourselves percentage pressured rushing shooting took turned
We didn't handle that very well. They pressured us and made us rush, especially early. That's why our shooting percentage was so low. We were rushing shots. We turned the ball over we didn't play with a lot of composure and we dug ourselves a hole. Defensively they did a nice job on us and took us out of our game.
family great playing sisters talked
We talked about playing in the past. It made sense with the two sisters playing. It's great for their family too.
conference definitely focus happy improving learn playing
We are playing better now and we just need to keep improving on it. You want to be peaking at the end of the season. We're definitely not happy going into conference 3-8, but there's nothing we can do about that now. It's a new season, we're 0-0, we just have to focus on conference now and learn from the preseason.
adjust goal good job normally order positive ready san taking win
We want to try to end on a positive note. Obviously, everybody's goal is to win it, but in order to win it we have to play well and that's always been our focus, how we play. San Jose did a really good job taking some things away from us, things we normally do well. We have to be ready to adjust to San Jose.
character game shown throughout
We've shown character in spots, but this was the first game where we showed resiliency and character throughout the game and a lot of heart.
