We stepped up the defense in the second and third quarters. That kind of got us to where we wanted to be.

They played us great on defense. Melissa is our big gun and they took her out of the game with their defense. We also had overcome their height advantage, but we're young and young teams make mistakes. Now we have to mature.

There were a couple things that we tried. They played good defense and took a few things away from us.

Defense is what carries us. It got us the momentum and it got us some easy baskets. That's how we got that run.

Swain played a good, strong pressing defense against us, and we didn't handle it well in the second half. But a win is a win, even if it isn't pretty.

It's not like us. We haven't done that in practice, so I guess you've got to credit their defense ? their speed, their ability to strip you.
