I think the key was our middle attack. Caroline and Stephanie did really well and we were able to mix up our attack.

In retrospect, it was a scary thing. My wife said the doctors were kind of sugar-coating it at first but later admitted that they were concerned about paralysis.

The base of my skull was showing. I have absolutely no doubt about it. I'd be dead without that helmet.

If I hadn't been wearing a helmet, I wouldn't be here talking to you.

I feel like they have enough confidence from what they have achieved to know full well they're very good. But I don't think they're going out there to prove that they're good or that Ali wasn't the whole team.

We got in trouble in the second game when we served out too many times. Then we made a rotation error that cost us a point and we couldn't recover. When our serve was in, it was very good.
