If you look up and down the roster, we are pretty young. I know I start two seniors, but some of the younger girls are getting some valuable experience which we didn't have last year. I'm just really pleased the direction that we're going.

That's one thing I stress is we have to look inside as much as we can. I just think Lauren and Macon have really improved so much, especially since last year. They've worked on their game and developing their skills. I think it's starting to show more as we go into the season.

One of the main concerns I had before the game was how we were going to come out since this is the first game of the regional. I just felt that we executed well from the get go.

We had a lot of open opportunities and a lot of good shots -- not just in the inside, but also on the outside. We just didn't put them down when we needed them. I think that's why you saw the outcome the way it was.

I've been stressing to the girls that we have to have the complete package. We just can't work on one special thing. I just feel like the girls are starting to feel more comfortable out of the floor.

Central is a good team, and you have to be aware of everybody out on the floor. We just didn't overcome a lot of our mistakes. We just didn't execute. We didn't get back on defense the way we should have.

We were so consistent throughout the entire game. It was great to see.

I felt that we executed real well from the get-go. I think that was very important for us to get the lead on them. I just thought the girls came out and did a real nice job looking to score.

We knew coming into tonight it was going to be a battle and that's exactly what we got. I think the fans here tonight got a real enjoyable game. You can't take anything away from anybody.
