I came out in the first half, and I didn't necessarily feel comfortable. At halftime, all the guys on the team were telling me, 'We need you. We need you.' I just tried to step up myself.

We didn't feel like ourselves in the first half. We realized at halftime that we had to hold onto the ball, work harder and we did that in the second half. But it certainly wasn't polished.

At halftime, I told the guys we needed to keep our lead in the second half. A lot of teams that are as successful as Maryville aren't used to playing from behind. We wanted to put that pressure on them in the second half and not let them make a run.

I didn't think he was working that hard defensively in the first half, to be honest with you. At halftime, he really turned it around.

We felt great at halftime. We scored the first basket of the second half (but) we didn't really get the stops that we needed to maintain the lead that we had. They just slowly crept up on us and took the lead.

In the first half, she was a little upset with herself after a couple of defensive plays, but at halftime we told ourselves to forget it. This was a new 20 minutes so what happened in the first half stayed there. Then she came in and hit some big shots, some wide-open 3s, got some dribble penetration that opened up some other people.
