We kind of put ourselves in a hole of not executing the way we're capable. We had to work a lot harder to get back to where we were at the beginning of the game.

It's bittersweet. I feel like I've been here forever.

We went out after Hurricane Katrina to give any kind of support we could. We played with kids, signed autographs, just talked to people. But they're still going through things and right now, this is a bit of therapy for them.

I know I'm going to be the primary defender on her, but our team does such a great job of never leaving me out there on my own. You're not going to shut a player like her out, she's a great player. You just want to make every shot she gets difficult.

I think it's a bit of an advantage, just in having some experience. That plays into being able to help our younger players along.

It feels good to finally have a game like this. It's been a while coming. It was good to get that out of the way.
