It was. Because now that we had a close one, it's good to know that teams can stay with us and we can be better prepared next time.

We're so excited. It's amazing. I can't even explain. It's amazing. This is huge for us. We have one more game and we're going to take it to them.

It was a struggle, especially in the first half. We didn't come out like we thought we would and planned to, but I think finished good and had a good second half.

I think we kind of got into a funk for a little bit, but we've done things to develop our teamwork a little more. I mean, now we're playing better as a team, and that's what it's all about, especially in the playoffs.

[Practices] are very intense, because everyone's fighting for a position, and you are always tired. It's a challenge, but it's a lot of fun. I love it.

We are all friends. Of course, when you come in as a freshman, you're kind of nervous because you don't know what to expect. But all the girls down here were great and just welcomed us.
