It's been a while. It's been a long time coming. I don't know if at the beginning of the season we knew we'd get that.

I was proud of my girls for fighting in the second half and making it respectable. We made them call a timeout [which] gave the girls some confidence. We have a bunch of juniors, so that will give them confidence for next year.

We were able to put more pressure on them. We were able to transition better because we had quicker guards in there. We attacked on the fast break and got 12 to 14 transition points.
