Our defense has been the fuel for our offense all season long. We intended to come out strong and play good defense tonight. We played really well as a unit.
We've been getting some help at practice by playing a 6-foot-5 girl. We've been defending her and she's been giving us some tips. That's something we can't get when we play against ourselves.
It was a great team effort, and we've really been working on playing together as a team.
We just missed a couple of key baskets and they were able to capitalize. They were a little more consistent in the fourth quarter. And I think mentally, when you miss your shots and they hit theirs on the other end, it's hard to come back.
That was my hope, to give Brittany plenty of playing time on the JV team. I really figured she would be ready to step up to a big role in the postseason and continue that this year.
We've been working really hard on being consistent on both ends. LC is a very consistent team. If you want to beat them, you have to be more consistent. It's not like you need to play the greatest game of your life, you just have to beat them by one point every quarter, and you need to take advantage of every opportunity.
Last time we played them, they made some runs and we didn't have any answers. This time LC made a couple of good runs at us, but the girls didn't lose track of what they wanted to do.
We've been working on pressure man defense. Early on this season we used some zone, but just with our size and quickness we've kind of moved to man and it's worked.
Defense was definitely our best offense last night.
