We were attacking them in the first half and playing good defense and in the roles reversed in the second half.

The key to stopping those two is playing defense early. You've got to front the players and prevent them from going where they can get off a high percentage shot.

You feel like a second-class citizen when you have the No. 1 offense and the No. 32 defense year in and year out.

We win because of our defense. We build our game around it.

We had some strong serving, but we didn't mesh as well on defense, ... We'd cover a line and they'd hit in the middle. We'd cover the middle and they'd hit a line. It was a guessing game back and forth.

We need to keep playing as a team, and keep working on our defense and not make stupid fouls.
