Brandi was all over the floor. Haley, Brandi and Maire Ready did a great job defensively.

I don't pay any attention to that (rankings). I like being ignored and staying under the radar.

She's a team player. She goes for everything and puts it all out on the floor. I hate to take her off the court, but we have some strong defenders and we have to play to our strengths.

We've been struggling with that lately. Every once in a while, we'll lose focus and give the other team momentum.

We spread the attack out well. We've got a lot of good hitters and we try to set them all.

For my kids to come back after losing that first match took a lot of gumption. They could have easily died. I'm very proud. They needed to know they could do that.
