We're thankful to God for this community who have warmly embraced us. I guess we're gonna be in Jackson for a while.

We won, but none of us our satisfied with the way we're playing. Maybe, that's good. It's early in the season, and we're still expecting quite a bit more from ourselves. I feel like we're getting good play off and on. One game its one person. Another game it's another person. We need to get consistent, solid play out of everybody. Alivia (Mazura) had another great game. Dania had a very good game.

We kind of sat back and defended the ball for a long, long time. You can't play good teams like that, you have to go for the next ball.

It's all great, but I'm really more concerned with the team than anything else. Ultimately, you have to hit 100 at some point if you stay around long enough. But, it's far more important that these players got the win over Dartmouth. I would rather see the success that they can achieve.

Santa Clara is a team that has gone to the Final Four pretty consistently. They bring with them an air of confidence. Teams get a little nervous playing against them.

This is a very good team. To only give them seven shots is a pretty big statement. That's a credit to our defense.

Lindsay is a little more confident and a little more aggressive. I like how much responsibility she's taking for the ball and the way that we're trying to play. When you do that, you get your own chances. She has a terrific shot.

That was a great win. I liked our whole first half. The game as a whole we played very well. The first half we added what we've been trying to work on. We connected very well. We were dangerous in the attack, again. We got dangerous opportunities out of set pieces - throw-ins - which is something we've been working on. Quite a few players played well.

The quality of our game isn't anything that we have to change. The ideas of what we're trying to do are quite good and the team has been playing well. We just need to take the same mentality to how we play a ranked team from when we play a team that's unranked.
