We also just had spring break, so we had a bunch of girls on vacation. For some of them, today was the first time they've played in more than a week.

We'd love to put (Bender) up front at forward, but we'd struggle to get the ball to her. But once we get some of our other field players back we might move her up.

She's very aggressive. She wants the ball and she's not afraid. She's fearless. We had her at forward, but she's very fit and she's got good ball skills, so we need her in the center. She's huge for us right now.

I was proud of the way she and all of my girls hustled. We hit the boards, defended. I could ask for any better from my team.

The girls focused and did everything we asked.

I told the girls this is the first team that has played as a true team since I've been at Pallotti. There's no one real superstar. Everybody has off games and the rest of the team picked it up.
