It was hard to relax much before then. With their three-point shooters and press, nine points can be made up in 25 seconds or less. So, that's why we couldn't get too comfortable until the last seconds.

For a sophomore, she has very good hands, as far as catching the ball and a nice touch around the basket. She has a good sense of maturity for a sophomore you don't see all the time. She's been a solid team player. When people collapse on her, she looks to kick it out.
