The roughest part for me was the daily grind of an 82-game season,

We held on in a tough game. We've been in this type of game before this season, and we held on. We got this first game out of the way and now we get to play again.

We've been able to grind out this long season and make a few shots and get some defensive stops.

My confidence comes from the daily grind - training my butt off day in and day out.

Rachel played her best game of the season. She's been playing real well of late.

I can win a race before the end of the season
