We started really well. Playing on the road isn't easy and getting a good start is so important and we really did a good job early on. We didn't maintain the intensity, but after a start like that, it is tough to keep up that level.

We played pretty darn good defense all night long. You hold a team to nearly 20 points under their average, you've got to be doing some things right.

It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.

(Amanda Reimer) really did a number on us last year when they came up and played us and we weren't about to let that happen again. Our focus was to shut down their drives to the basket and make it as tough as possible for their post players to move.

It's hard to have to start the season playing the number one preseason favorite on the road (Wayne State). It'll be tough but we'll get it out of the way.

We did a good job of keeping our composure when they made the run on us in the second half. Noelle Hall had some big baskets down the stretch for us, which is what we needed her to do.

You can't guard Hall with one player. They didn't have an answer for Hall or Becker tonight.

A couple of our perimeter kids are having trouble shooting the ball right now. They'll have to shoot better when we play the conference teams. I thought our defense played pretty well the whole game. It's hard to hold a team to 50 points.
