We're just happy to be in this position right now and hopefully we can take care of what we need to take care of.

Last time we didn't do a very good job of shutting those (other) girls down.

It's a great accomplishment for her. She's worked really hard to get where she's at.

The girls responded well and forced turnovers in the second half.

If the stakes were the same as last year, that would be good.

Rebounding and second chance opportunities were a big key for us.

They played very physical inside. They were not as tall as our girls but they were a little bit bigger, and they did a good job on the boards, too.

They were a very good ball club, very physical and very aggressive. (Coach Mike Fischer) does a good job with his program and gets his girls to play hard. I know the last few games they've been playing very well, so I figured it would be a battle.

We got off to a nice start. I thought we did a much better job on defense against them this time.
