That was a tough one. Our record doesn't show how well we've played. We have to learn how to win these games. We've had it in spurts, but it doesn't seem like we've had it when we've needed it.

We found ways to battle and battle, but not to pull out wins. We won one big game and thought we were turning the corner, but we lost some close ones down the stretch.

It's nice to have very competitive games, even though this isn't the best record we've had. [The AACA] has been everything I expected - tough, scrappy games with a lot of ups and downs. I don't know if the girls expected this. We tried to tell them, but there's only so much you can say.

We gave up offensive rebounds, at least 18, which is the stat of the game. Overall, we played well in every other aspect of our game, but the rebounds were the difference.

I feel like we're very well prepared (for districts). In the last week, we lost to three very tough teams (St. Basil, Villa Maria, Downingtown) and got two big wins (over Nazareth) back to back. I feel like the girls have earned a lot of respect.

It's vitally important we get a good result in Estonia.
