You can't guard Hall with one player. They didn't have an answer for Hall or Becker tonight.

He really pounded it. He's really starting to come around with the bat a little bit.

It was a great example of perseverance on Sara Jensen's part. She has worked very hard over the summer to improve her game and develop confidence, and she has had some outstanding games for us this season.

It's hard to have to start the season playing the number one preseason favorite on the road (Wayne State). It'll be tough but we'll get it out of the way.

At halftime we talked about being aggressive. We needed to get more aggressive and get to the free throw line. With our interior players we should get to the free throw line more than we did in the first half.

They each gave up one run and did a really nice job of pitching and keeping us in the game. We didn't get enough hits. It was a very good baseball game and very well pitched and played on both sides.

They got a couple of buckets late. But we also had some really good looks at the basket down the stretch, and we just couldn't get any to go down. We were down by 16 in the first half and came back, and we played really well in the second half to get back in it. We just couldn't make the shots at the end.

(Amanda Reimer) really did a number on us last year when they came up and played us and we weren't about to let that happen again. Our focus was to shut down their drives to the basket and make it as tough as possible for their post players to move.

Ali stepped up and had a nice game. She made a couple of tough shots inside and was able to get to the free-throw line a few times. Miranda also stepped up her level of play.

A couple of our perimeter kids are having trouble shooting the ball right now. They'll have to shoot better when we play the conference teams. I thought our defense played pretty well the whole game. It's hard to hold a team to 50 points.
