All the guys felt like this was an urgent win for us.

Hopefully, I can do it. I don't plan on going anywhere. I plan on coming back. I just feel like for me to get better I have to become a better student of the game. There are some areas I have to work on in my game.

I just tried to step up and be a leader and come through for my teammates.

I pretty much did the easy part. They screened for me. They set plays for me. They put me in the right position. All I had to do was put the ball in the goal.

I'm being more assertive. It's something I can do. I'm just recognizing my potential.

I never played with a brace on, and it was very irritating. I couldn't move with it on.

It's very important for us. We're known as a team around the league that doesn't play well on the road. We have to get that monkey off our backs.

It's learning experience. Once you have all those close games, something clicks. You learn from it and you execute down the stretch.

It's not just the coaches who are holding the players accountable. The players, we're holding each other accountable, too. That's a big difference as opposed to last year. We'd be arguing and there would be a lot of negativity. Who was getting the shots? Who was getting the minutes? Now, we're just together and it doesn't really matter who scores the points.

I truly feel like we have done enough to get in the tournament.
