We're looking at the long run, and the long run is that this team is going to be better in the future.

I think that Rich has done a great job, the team has come along really well. They move the ball well, they play solid defense. I thought today our team got in a hole too quickly.

We're taking on these next eight games as a new season.

You've got to believe. You've got to think that if you have a great game, you can beat them.

I'm ecstatic I took this game. There's no loss for us. Our players had to elevate their play and they're better coming out of it.

Our players got a little tentative at the end of the game, and started to second-guess their shots. The two things we pride ourselves on are rebounding and defense. We did a good job holding them to 34 percent shooting, but our rebounding was not where it needed to be.

As a coach, you're just thinking up ways to fix, fix, fix, fix, fix. This is just another method that we tried this week.

Ashley is a power forward who finishes well around the basket. Ashley plays the game with determination and heart. She brings speed and quickness to the interior of our lineup.
