They've become a much better team the last couple of years. This is not one of those walk games. My girls, I think, underestimated them last time and they made them pay for it.

That's a big step. That's a big improvement in this team since last year. Last year, a lot of times a team got physical with them they might be a little more hesitant, but not this time. They usually don't return what they get. They like to play their game.

I'm not going to guarantee a win, but I know that we're going to compete. We're not just happy to be in the regional.

I don't think we've seen that kind of speed at all this year. A couple quick players, but not team speed like that.

It kind of validates the work they've put in all season.
