She has two national championships under her belt. She has to be like that.

Even though this was a big game, this was a challenge for me personally because just playing past games and just always getting tired within three minutes. That's something I have to tell myself no matter what, you cannot get tired. Honestly that's what I had in my mind all night. I didn't want to get tired and I think I did a better job.

She is a veteran. She is a national champion so she knows how to handle things like that. I do understand sometimes size makes a difference and we need to help her. For a long time, she is down there holding her own until somebody can get down there and relieve her in a sense. But if Barb is down there, she is going to do her best to contain the offensive player.

I'm not going to say there's absolutely no pain, but I can play. Now it's just like going out and being sore. Everybody else is sore. You have to play with pain. So that's how I look at it. Let's just say I feel pretty darn good. I'm excited to see what (today) brings.

Anytime you face a team like that, you have to be excited. We have to play our hearts out to be satisfied about what happens at the end at the buzzer.

I don?t remember the last time I played in a game, so I?m excited to see what (Thursday) brings. I?m not going to say there?s absolutely no pain, but I can play. Let?s just say, I feel pretty darn good.
