I just think we're playing well together right now. Defensively, the team knows it can stop people. Offensively, we're moving the ball better and creating less turnovers.

Off the court, it seemed like they were together, like they got along. But on the court it was a different mentality.

As much as we've struggled, I've really enjoyed this team. They've never quit. But within the team, they've got to learn to get over the difficult times. Every time we get to a difficult point, they go backward instead of forward.

We played real tough tonight and have over the past few games. It just seems we can't get over that hump. This team is still very capable of doing well in the (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) tournament and those who follow us have seen it in stretches. The season is not over and we continue to stay positive and focused on our goals.

The last year and a half or so (ball movement) was something we haven't been the best at. But we're getting a little more experienced, and the girls are trusting each other a little more now. It is sort of a trademark of our program, so I was happy with that.

Many of these dogs are sweet and energetic but just need the right care. But many people just come in and don't take the time to get to know the animals.
