I thought that was one of her better games at managing the game. She played under control, rebounded and played pretty good defense.

At times I thought, 'Boy I have this under control.' Then I'd go through the house and see something, a little ornament, and you don't know how many times I just sat there and bawled like a baby. You learn that this is going to happen.

We thought it was must-win. (Keene) has to win two games to go beyond us now. This win could move us four spots in the standings. Getting closer to that .500 notch is big. We?re doing what we need to do.

Our girls came out defensively and hustled. We played with a lot of energy on defense and made things difficult for Ford City.

The layoff is always hard and we felt as if we were rusty in the first half as well, and it took us a while to get through that. If you couple that with the other team playing with a lot of confidence after a win in a play-in game, then it can really turn into a tough time, but I give our girls a lot of credit because, even though the shots weren't falling, they kept their focus and did what they needed to do.

I just think you have to focus on what got you here. In the playoffs there are so many upsets in the first round, a team feels pressure because things don't flow the way you want them to and you don't get the rhythm you had during the season.
