We didn’t want to play against anything but their best team.

We made it hard for them to run their offense. They looked uncomfortable all night and weren’t able to get a lot of the shots they wanted.

Our pressure didn’t give them any easy looks. The girls worked hard. This is a real tough team ? they have a girl who is 6-foot-2 and they have a couple of other girls who...
