couple game girls half hit hurry playing quarter settled shots talked third
The girls kind of got in a hurry at the end of the first half, which was what they wanted us to do. We talked at the half about just playing our game and in the third quarter we did. Marla hit a couple of big shots and we settled back down.
attacking girls good maybe quit relax relaxed shots
I told the girls to relax and take good shots once we had a lead. I think maybe we relaxed too much and quit attacking the basket.
adapted care game games girls goals looking next start taking worried worry
We are worried about our next game only and not looking ahead. The girls wanted to set some goals at the start of the year, but I told them to just worry about our next game. They have adapted to that and our one goal is just taking care of the next game. We are not worried about two games away or three.
built changed early finished fought girls half happy helped mentally overall quarter sarah second stayed
Those 3s by Sarah and Brooke were big. We also changed defenses in the second quarter and I think that helped a lot. Overall I was happy that the girls didn't get down mentally when Morrison built the early lead. We stayed with it, fought back and finished the first half strong.
