We just want to go out there and play as hard as we ever have. We're playing against some big girls, so we've just worked on crashing the boards, keeping them on our backs. It's going to be a good game. Everyone's really excited.

Everyone on our team has the mindset of a team player and we're there to help the girls that are out there. As a captain, I think I have a big role, even when I'm not on the court. We're just doing the small things that help the team.

Besides being one of my best friends, she's been a really good friend to everyone on this team. She stayed on the team, she brings the water to every game and she's at every practice. We respect her a lot for being here. I think anyone else would have a tough time dealing with (the injury), but she did.
