It is only 10 minutes but it is high intensity and you work almost to the point of total fatigue.

We shot ourselves in the foot a lot of times in the second half. . . . I thought both teams had fatigue settle in as the game went on.

I certainly saw a lot of things that we need to work on. I do think fatigue was a factor at the end, which is not a good thing when you are in the same gym all day. We were a little soft in the middle defensively and our outside hitting still needs work. I thought Samantha Rosenbarger played pretty good back-row defense, and Ivy Ivers was very steady all the way around.

He gave me a pat on the back and said not to worry. He said there were no hard feelings.

Mum and dad still live up there and everyone's OK, although (the cyclone) has affected people I know.

They always give it to me a bit up here.
