Kara is such an intelligent girl. She was such a good presence for us inside. She really stepped up today and hit some key baskets for us in the second half.

We really grew up a lot this season. A lot of that has to do with putting in a lot of work during the summer.

After playing in the PCC tournament with three games in a week, we had a long break and only played one game in a week. This is more of our pace, three games in a week and there is a lot at stake.

We've had games like this where they've been easy and we've had games that have been tough. This team, I'm not worried about them. Mentally they've risen to the occasion every time.

We know what it's like when the game gets out of control. We were on the losing side of it earlier this year, we know how the other team feels.

She has really been coming along for us this season. She makes our bench a little deeper and that is really good for this time of the season.

Kara's like another coach on the floor. She's very, very intelligent. She understands strategy. Her memory is unreal. She knows plays as well as I know them. And she's very vocal. If somebody's not in the right spot, she'll tell them immediately. She's a voice of reason. She points out common sense things that people don't get at times.

We could've won the game today. We've come so far this season, it's really hard to be disappointed right now.

We sunk ourselves in the first half. Offensively, we weren't protecting the ball very well. We weren't countering our defensive stops with anything offensive.
