We've been bowling with a lot of confidence. Things look good for us.

After finishing runner-up last year, it was nice to win it this year. We came from way back to do it, but we finally did it. We were watching Plainfield [Central], so that gave us a boost.

That's when Natalie Cortese got hot.

We came on at the end. We started out slow, and I hope the momentum keeps going.

This season was probably my worst season of curling ever. I just wasn't playing with any confidence and we just didn't have any chemistry. Something like this will certainly give my confidence a boost and I hope it brings out the best in me.

Last week was good for my confidence. I'm in really, really good shape and I'm healthy. And when I'm healthy, I improve a lot.
