I thought we came out and played extremely hard. I don't think we back down one bit. We knew that if we back down one bite they would make their way back up.

We thought we were in, so it definitely was a relief to know we weren't going to have the toughest road possible because of the mistakes we made. I'm happy that we're playing so close to home and hopefully a lot of fans will make it to the game.

They're all good players. We tried stopping them the way we thought would work, but they had other weapons.

I thought we executed our game plan good.

I learned how to be a stronger person, because it is such a physical, emotional game. I feel like I'll carry the lessons I learned here with me for the rest of my life.

We're just not ready to go home yet. We have to come out with this same intensity Monday night.
