We did everything we were suppose to do but put the ball in the hole.

Natalie had an unforgettable night. I know it's cliché, but she was in the zone. She attacked the rim and when they took that away by sagging in on her she bombed away.

She is very deserving of such a night. It was a night that all athletes dream about.

Until we regain a defensive swagger we are going to continue to struggle. It's a mystery to me why we have lost our confidence to play defensive with intensity. Letting another team shoot nearly 60 percent from the field is a tragedy.

(Ballard) is a team that can make us better later on by playing against it. We can use this game to play with quicker, more athletic teams and I'm really proud of our seniors for challenging the other players to play hard the whole game.

The frustrating part was the types of shots we didn't finish on. We had looks from five feet away all night.

We knew revenge would be on the mind of ADM. The girls were emotionally and physically ready for the challenge and it was a tight game all the way through, (but) we have to tighten up our defense. We got caught out of position and slapped at the ball as it was going by us too often.

Knowing our girls we will grow from this. The seniors will challenge the entire squad to refocus and improve their concentration on shooting at our practices.

Haley and Nicole made her work extremely hard to bring the ball up the court and start their offense. She didn't get near the looks she normally does.
