In our conference, no one has taken a step back. There's going to be a lot more parity and I think our conference tournament is going to be tougher than it has ever been.

It's really not about a win or a loss. We need to improve upon what we've been addressing. Win or lose, it doesn't really affect who we play.

They both came in with a very large freshman class that struggled a bit, but they really stuck it out. They've contributed so much more to the program than just stats.

It was just a really frustrating game. They were very physical with us and we lost our composure. I thought our defense played well, but our attack just couldn't take care of the ball.

Danni had a stress fracture at the beginning of the season, and we had to ease her in. We always expected her to contribute. For her size, you might not expect it, but she's going to have a big year for sure.

They have arguably the best recruiting class in the country. They're going to be a completely new team with different looks and different strengths. Hopefully coming off of that loss to them last year is motivating our team. There's no way we can take this team for granted.

You never like to lose in that way, by that margin. But we've been struggling with consistent effort and today everyone played hard the whole game.

You're not going to keep her to nothing, but you want to keep her to three or below. We have to key in on the other players and force the others to score for them.

Our defense looked good because our attack held onto the ball. Having the discipline on the attack to run the plays and take care of the ball is something we haven't been able to do in the past, but today we did. We managed the clock very well.

It was two games in a row where we dug ourselves into a hole where we couldn't get ourselves out. We started off slow and played flat in the first half.
