I'm proud of the 3,000-meter girls. They did a good job.

This is probably the best game we've played so far defensively. The girls stepped up and played a lot better than they have.

I think doing so well last year really helped prepare these girls this season. The girls have really bought into what we're trying to do ... and have really worked hard all year long.

The girls ? what can you say? They really stepped it up.

Dionna and Alex had nice races. The girls continue to improve each meet but we have a long way to go as a team.

The girls are staying mentally focused through the entire match and refusing to let a couple bad points or games destroy their confidence.
