When you can hit outside, it forces the defense to stretch out a little bit, and then you can get it inside.

Our defense has been the bread and butter of our team. We knew it was going to be a tough game and it's always good to win a game of this magnitude.

I believed the entire game we were going to win, and so did the kids. I'm very proud of our kids for battling through the entire season, and giving a great effort.

We struggled early in the year, and we're playing good basketball now. This is a lot of fun.

Last year, our defense played a great game but we couldn't score. The only way we're going to beat them is if our offense can score. Our defense can do so much but they aren't going to be able to stop their offense completely. So we have to put more points on the board.

Christine vastly improved her defense to a level where she was one of the top on ball defenders in the league.
