With our half-court defense, we focused on turnovers.

We prepared for Royal like we would for East Valley or Connell, because they are a respectable team.

The girls set individual goals. We fulfilled those goals.

We threw in the full-court presses three days ago. The girls did it very well, and they sold out on it.

During our 13 days off, we worked on defense. I knew we'd be good at that. The shooting ... well, I wasn't sure.

I wish we could have made our shots early. But our defense early was the difference. Our defense won the game for us.
