Getting off to an early lead was our main focus, especially with them playing last night. We wanted to jump on them early and take their legs out from under them.
tough worry
Unbelievable. We just got some tough calls. But we can't worry about that.
came capable finished hour played rain tuesday
Monday, we came out and played pretty decent. When Tuesday came around, we played in the rain for about an hour and a half. We did not do as well during that. We finished in seventh, which is respectable, but we know we are capable of doing better.
early jump knowing last played
One of the big things we wanted to do was get out there early and jump on them, especially knowing that they played last night.

Coming back and playing again this week should help us out. The course in Toledo is similar to the one we won at earlier in the year at Youngstown State. We are heading in the right direction right now. We are working hard and it should pay off soon.

It was crazy last night. I think it definitely brought a lot more pride.
biggest defense focusing forcing playing relaxing rushing worrying
I've just really been focusing on playing defense and rebounding and not worrying about the offense. That's been the biggest thing. I think I was forcing and rushing my shot. Now, I'm just relaxing and when it comes, I let it fly.
upset
You can see them getting upset with Raja. You can really tell when he's getting under their skin.
best career round score second shooting shot team third
Jessica's round was her career best and was also the best we have had this season. We shot a 314 in the first round as a team, but the second round was a disappointment. Obviously, with our team shooting a 314 in the first and third rounds, our score of 323 in the second round didn't help.
