I've been following them since the beginning of the year. I went to see them against Mount de Chantal, Jeannette, a bunch of different teams that they've played. We got a lot of film on them and we're pretty familiar with them since that's who we played last year.

I really feel for the seniors. They really didn't think this is how their season would end. They had the lead and they had the game, I just don't know if they played too confident.

We ran a man-to-man, and then we got in foul trouble, and I had to go into a zone, and I was afraid of that because I know how they can hit from the perimeter. We went into a 3-2 and left the middle wide open, but we were able to stop them, and I was happy we were able to clog up the middle.

We wanted to deny down low because Gibson was hitting when she got the ball, and we were getting a little out of position. Fortunately, they weren't able to kill us on the inside because we were smaller in the back.

I wouldn't trade by top six in for anybody. I love this team and, even the freshmen that come off the bench are doing tremendous things and are beyond my expectations.

At the beginning of the year, I think the girls saw the fact that everyone was gone and thought they were supposed to lose. It's taken some work, but now they really believe that they can be a good team. We're all really excited about the rest of the year.
