We felt like we had nothing to lose. Before the game, I told the kids either way today, you walk out of here champions.

Our seniors clearly didn't want to walk out of here without the victory. The seniors stepped up today and took care of business. Our seniors walk out of here with 89 victories. That is pretty darn impressive for a four-year career.

We told our kids the only way we can win this game is if we shot well from the outside early, because then the defenders have to come out. And then, if we swing the ball multiple times, the defense can recover the first time, but can they recover the second time? We wanted to try and wear them down a bit.

We had balanced scoring for us with Minor, Hines and Reiser. Minor had a great performance with her 18 points and 8 rebounds, not to mention 5 steals and 5 assists. She was 7 of 10 from the field. She also handled the ball well tonight. (Hines) does not want her season to end. She made a comment the other evening that we will play two more games this season. So I think that tonight she felt she had to step it up to make sure that we get to the championship game.

(Johns Hopkins) is such different team. They actually beat McDaniel and Dickinson twice in the regular season. They have a starting line up of 5-8, 5-9, 5-10 to 6-0. They have substitutes that are about the same size. We want to bring them away from the basket a bit. We're going to have to hit a few shots from the outside early and make them come out. And then we start doing what we do best and that is play team basketball.

I believe in lieu of the Katrina situation last week it is even more important that we are prepared and we practice in case a real situation occurs,
