You can't get off to a slow start against a team.

When we did get looks we weren't knocking them down, and they were hitting their shots and locating their shooters.

We were in a position where we could go out and do it. That's what we were playing for. ... Whether it's a tie or not, that's the way the seniors wanted to go out.

It wasn't like we didn't try. We just couldn't get anything jelling.

Enclose your heart in times of need with the steel of your determination and your strength. In doing this, all things will be bearable.

Our blocking was phenomenal. Andrea Mitchell and Sarah Payne, my setters, also played with a lot of intensity.
