“The second half we settled in more and just played a little bit more focused. This was just kind of a random game. It was a tough flow to get into, but we hung in there with our defense.”
“She had to get back to the softball team. She had that commitment and needed to get ready for the season. She was a big help to us while she was here.”
“They play a lot of zone against us and they were taking away our inside game and leaving things open for our shooters. Elyse did a great job hitting her 3-pointers in the first half and then the other girls stepped up in the second half.”
“We were lacking an ability to get in the flow on offense a little bit and on defense we were better in the second half. I think coaches look for perfection and it was nice to win by such a margin, but I still think we have a lot to work on.”
“The thing is, Elyse is a good shooter. She's just been playing the point for us so she's had a lot of other things to focus on. It's not like she just got hot or something. She really a true two-guard.”
“We needed a game like this where we had to step up at the end. I'm upset we didn't play well, but it was good for us to be in this kind of situation.”
“We did what we needed to do. It was great to see some of our bench step up. They took the inside away and it's really just a matter of learning how to respond to what teams take away.”
“We talked about it. But not so much in the way that, yes, we have a shot to host now, but more about how we need to stay focused because things can bite you quick.”
