She just seemed to be doing everything ? hitting jump shots from the top of the key, controlling the offensive boards and getting the ball out front on the fast break.

Defensively we really locked down (during that first quarter 20-4 run). We were controlling the boards, blocking some shots and we were able to get out and get some easy baskets.

It just seemed like everybody got deflated when they kept hitting shots, ... We have to be tougher than that. We can't let a team hit a couple of tough shots and then say: 'Oh well, we can't stop them.' That's what we can take from this game. Mental toughness. We can't let ourselves get deflated like that.

The thing I really like about her is her presence on the offensive and defensive boards.

They dominated both the offensive and defensive boards.

She (Newton) never gives up on the offensive boards.
