I've told them that they could be the best girls team we've ever had, but that's up to them.

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

The improvements we've made in the past week have been dramatic. I think once the girls get a couple wins under their belt, they'll start getting some more self-confidence and believing they can win.

It helps when you have a group of girls that can play together and communicate on and off the court. If we didn't, it would definitely show on the court.

I'm coming back with so much information, and where do you start from? How do you get the girls to a level where they will be competing nationally?

The girls worked hard. We ran our offense really well and had good shots, but the ones in the final minutes of regulation and overtime did not fall for us.
