We got it up to 18 in the second half, but they were able to cut it to four late. Maria Viola hit four or five free throws down the stretch and we were able to hold on.
We don't feel badly. We had a chance to win a game against a good team and just came up short at the end. It was a good overall effort.
The kids did a good job against their zone. They moved the ball well, passed the ball well and we got a lot of good shots.
Last time, we kind of got embarrassed at their place. They really took it to us - it was 31-13 at halftime - so we've got a bit of a revenge factor going for us.
Kennedy was undefeated in league. They're the No. 1 seed in our section in the power rankings. To go in there and beat them is a big win for us.
It was a good overall game. All nine players scored tonight, so it was good to see everyone contributing.
Olympia Jacobs was dealing with a bad foot and sat out the first three quarters, but came in and really sparked us (in the fourth quarter). We were hoping to get through it without her, but we got into some foul trouble and lost the lead. She only scored three points, but her defensive energy got everyone going.
We're still growing, but as long as we keep winning while we're doing it - that's good news.
We got lost a couple of times, but I was happy with our defensive effort.
