That was one of the things we talked about at halftime. Down at the end every foul is a free throw basically.
Our leading scorer every game, except when we played Atchison, hasn't been more than a three-point difference. So, what's working in our advantage, is when they all can score we're pretty tough.
In the first quarter we were executing offensively. We were looking to score. We had open shots, we were taking them and they were being extremely aggressive on the defensive end which helps us out a lot.
It's been a struggle. We've struggled with (the press) all year. I think every team in the league is probably aware that that's one of our problems, but we keep taking strides everyday in practice.
We were doing a pretty good job building that lead, but where we had our difficulties was sealing it off. That's something we've had trouble with.
We're getting real used to playing against bigger people. Perry's the only team we've played so far that we match up with size-wise.
I thought we did a pretty decent job on the boards. I mean, I was not complaining about that. Julia (Meyer), Liz (Graham) and Gina (Greenwood) all of them hit the boards hard tonight. They put a body on somebody and they were after everything, offensively and defensively.
Basically the girls just hung in there and pulled it out in the end. They just weren't ready to give up.
I was a little concerned. I really think we needed this win to remind them that they can compete. They went out strong in the first half.
