It's not the first time somebody's finished second to them, and I doubt it will be the last. In fact, I know it won't be the last.

I didn't care that much about the first two (losses). That's what I told the girls. So what that we lost against them in the league tournament? I'd trade all that stuff, the CSAA title and the tournament, for just one district championship. We went down fighting. We just made some critical mistakes at the wrong times.

I told the girls, don't get down, because we are the first and only team to ever take St. Louis to five games, and we could meet them again later on, so if there's one to lose, this one is it. Now they know that we can stick with them.
