It's not something we really talk about, but they definitely know that's the first loss we've ever had in this league. It's definitely hard for them. It's a tough loss right now, but I'm hoping it makes them stronger in some of our games coming up.
It was a tough game and I think there were a few questionable calls on Lauren. And that hurt us in the second half, especially when she fouled out. That made it tough for us.
We came out without a lot of energy and it was fairly close to halftime. But we were able to pull away in the fourth quarter.
It was a good game. They were a good team. They only lost to Colfax by three, so we knew they were tough.
The big difference was when Juric got into foul trouble. She wasn't able to defend in the second half with four fouls. (Becca) Pugh was able to score on her inside on shots that usually she would block. Colfax got some nice looks off that. That really hurt us.
(Baker) made some great plays in the open floor. We keyed on her and got some turnovers in the second half. We fouled her three times on 3-point shots and she hit 8-of-9 free-throws. She's just an excellent player.
We shot well early, but never could pull away.
I'm really happy with how we played throughout the whole tournament. We won two games that could have gone either way and played really well in the fourth quarter of both games.
Not hitting shots in the first half hurt us. It's hard to fight from that far back.
