Defense is what carries us. It got us the momentum and it got us some easy baskets. That's how we got that run.

I don't know. I was very worried about the situation. The bus forgot to pick us up, and we were scrambling to get here. That really screwed up the routine, so I was really glad when I saw that start that we had. Usually we start out slow, and the fast start really put me at ease.

It's definitely going to be a dogfight. There's not much separating the four of us, so a big rebound here, a steal there, or a free throw could be the difference between any of us.

They played us great on defense. Melissa is our big gun and they took her out of the game with their defense. We also had overcome their height advantage, but we're young and young teams make mistakes. Now we have to mature.

There were a couple things that we tried. They played good defense and took a few things away from us.

We stepped up the defense in the second and third quarters. That kind of got us to where we wanted to be.
