During the interview process, Pete told me that the team had three girls six feet or taller, and a point guard (Kim Rich). That definitely piqued my interest, but it also made me wonder how a team with all those ingredients could be around .500.

G-D's a great team. They did the same thing to us when we played them at their place. They came out with super intensity, got on top early, looking to do it on the defensive end.

I could see from the beginning of our practices earlier this year that the potential was there. I knew that the pieces were in place, and I think the team just needed a change and needed some discipline.

It would've been great to have a league championship. It would've been fantastic, but hopefully now we will be playing later on in the season for something a little bit bigger and better.

I know we wanted it, but we just didn't come out and do the things we needed to do. We gave up a bunch of big offensive boards, there were things we didn't do that we wish we could take back. They (Marlboro) threw a press at us a couple times that tripped us up.

I think it will definitely help us to prepare for the district tournament. It's a little strange not knowing what team you're going to play until about a week before the games start, so that takes a little time out of preparing.

We definitely do things offensively to utilize our size. It's one thing to have the height, but when you have big people who can play, that makes it tough for a team to stop you.

It's no secret that we have a lot of big girls and we look to use them. Groton did a good job on the perimeter early on, making it tough for us to get it inside to them, but once we moved the ball a little better we were able to get the ball into Jillian and Allie (Coulter) and we were able to capitalize.

I think that I have to take a lot of the blame for the slow start we had. We could have been more prepared for the press.
