The key for us down the stretch is going to be our balance. We have a lot of talent, but we need to step up and play as a team.

I'm really pleased that we have real strong balance in our program right now. What we're working on right now is maintaining the level of play and getting our bench more involved because we really have a tough schedule coming up.

She dominated. She killed us from inside and from the free throw line. We couldn't drive the ball, and the one thing that kills us is when get unbalanced in our scoring. Amanda was proving us with a lot of points in the first half, but when they shut her down in the second, we didn't have anyone there to pick up the slack.

After the first half, we realized they didn't have the offensive guns to beat us, so we settled back into a 2-3 defense. There's no need to press when you can beat them with a straight defense.

We were able to dictate the pace of the game and they didn't attack us. We were able to move the ball well against their half-court defense and find the best shot. We did a lot of things well. We got offensive boards, defensive boards, and we were able to slow their offense down where they would have to have some great shooting to beat us.

It's a lot of money hanging in the balance. It increases the profile of the airport and keeps us moving forward from an air service standpoint. That's the more important thing.
