Our defense has been the fuel for our offense all season long. We intended to come out strong and play good defense tonight. We played really well as a unit.

We just have to go out and play like a team. Defense wins championships.

It was very important to show (the coaches) that I know the defense and they can depend on me to get it done.

The first half everything was going good. The girls were playing good defense and our offense was there and we were utilizing Megan (Riley, center).

We've been working really hard on being consistent on both ends. LC is a very consistent team. If you want to beat them, you have to be more consistent. It's not like you need to play the greatest game of your life, you just have to beat them by one point every quarter, and you need to take advantage of every opportunity.

Last time we played them, they made some runs and we didn't have any answers. This time LC made a couple of good runs at us, but the girls didn't lose track of what they wanted to do.
