We never got in a rhythm. As time goes on, you start thinking about the shots you missed, and we wound up putting up some poor shots.

I'm already nervous, but I'm ready to play because we lost to this team by one (goal) and we've come really far since then. We've played together really good so I think we can hang with them. It's kind of overwhelming, but I just feel really good that we've come all this way. I'm really proud of all of us.

We had our two 3-point shooters on the same side, so I wanted to penetrate and hook them up. Obviously, they know who our shooters are, too. It's not a secret. Samantha and I made good eye contact, and I knew I was wide open. You have to take a wide-open three when it's right in front of you.

If you pull out the first win, it's a whole new tournament because there are only four teams left. It's who wants to play for the championship.

Being in the hotel and hanging out together. Basketball was the first thing, but we got to kind of chill out and make jokes, and it was basically the whole thing, not one thing specifically that stands out for me.

I think the first year we got down there, it was a new experience for everyone. So we were like, hey, it's nice to be here. Now this year, half the team has been here. It's we've seen all this, it's fun, but let's get the job done.
