We played better defense in the second half.

We knew this was going to be a tough game. Mauston is a very good shooting team.

I told the guys that if we gave up 31 points in the second half, that we would probably lose.

The defense won the game,

They played good defense, and we just couldn't put the ball in the basket.

I feel good about our defense, which is important considering our inexperience at the goaltending position.
