We possessed the ball a lot longer than Trenton did. We were very patient. I told the girls they could only take shots they were sure they could make. They were very patient and very careful with the ball.

In the second half we got to every loose ball. Our girls played harder than I've ever seen them play. My job is to figure how to motivate them to play like that from the start. If we can do that, we can be a special team.

They played all-around solid games ? all of them played roughly half the game and they did very well.

The team is very excited for the opportunity to avenge the loss.

Our tangible goal is to win 10 games. Otherwise we just want to finish strong. For the seniors we want this to continue to be an enjoyable experience. For the underclassmen we want to end on a positive not to help us build for the future.

That pretty much ended any chance we had to come back.
