As poorly as we played offensively, our defense held them to 44 points. I can’t ask for more than that on defense.

He’s going to be the first defense witness.

(At halftime), we talked to the forwards about pressuring the defense. We wanted to make things hard on their defense.

They came out and played great defense, … But the thing I liked was, for a while there, they weren’t scoring either. I was happy with the way we played defense while we were struggling.

I rely on our defense. They made the plays today and that’s huge for me because I need those guys to be successful. Guys are going to put it in play off me and I...

I was fine with how we ran our offense, and I was fine with how we played defense. We turned it over a few more than our average. Tennessee is good at making you do...

Megan Nelson was in a new position (libero) and made some stellar plays on defense.

Penn State is building their team off their defense and you saw it today. They got two big turnovers and kept us in check.

Some nights the shots just don’t fall. When that happens you just have to play good defense and kind of grind out the win.

Last year when it came to the playoffs, … we got through with our defense alone.

The defense had another nice game.

This was a true, total team effort. We have been excelling in short passes from the defense to midfield to offense. We were more patient with our decision to finish. Rachel Wright did a great...

The way our team played is through our defense.

I’d say we turned the ball over more than we needed to, but I thought our defense was outstanding.

Commonly they must use their feet for defense whose only weapon is their tongue.

Defense won the game for us. We had an incredible amount of intensity on defense against a good team. This was a huge win for us.

Standing on the defensive indicates insufficient strength; attacking, a superabundance of strength.

There were phases of the game that I would like to forget. We have to play defense and throw strikes. But I’m happy with the way some of the girls hit. Annie’s been doing a...

Pyotr was the arcane hero, complete with buff body that you secretly whacked off to as a boy. And suddenly he turned and stared straight at him, some carnal fire burning in his eyes now....

Our defense was good. Calvary plays a tough schedule this year and they lost a lot of seniors from last year.

They were very physical with us most of the night. Their defense was active. Even though our shooting percentage was good [52.5 percent], we were not able to smoothly run our offense.

We run eight men in the box. That’s the defense we run now. We tried to be more aggressive with it tonight.

It’s good for the defense that they created a lot of turnovers today. That was a positive. We picked right up where we left off last year with the interceptions. We need to keep doing...

If the praise of man elates me and his blame depresses me; if I cannot rest under misunderstanding without defending myself if I love to be loved more than to love…then I know nothing of...

I like our depth in the pitching department. We need to find a couple more offensive players. Defense should be solid.

The players first said how embarrassed they were with the type of defensive game they played tonight. Our defense keeps us in games and wins us ball games, keeps us close. We just got out...

During this part of an investigation, all the defense can do is wait to see what develops with final charges.

I think we played a good defense, and got a lot of pressure on the ball early.

We’re a defensive-oriented team. What we pride ourselves on is defense and rebounding. If we had the luxury of having some of the outside shooters that they did, yeah, we’d spread it around a little...

We’ve been playing real aggressive defense, knowing our backs are against the wall. We know it’s do-or-die.

I think our defense was the key tonight. They played hard, and with heart and passion, like they’ve done all year.

They have got a good team with very few weaknesses, if any. Their defense is outstanding.

Our defense all year hasn’t been where it needs to be. In the fourth quarter, we showed signs of playing better defense. It’s been a struggle all year.

Over the years, I learned to smile or laugh when I was supposed to. I kept my true self hidden; I did not need to unleash my pain on the world around me. Instead, I...

In the second half, we were a totally different team. We found some energy on defense and that helped us win the game.

We did not hit as well as we did last week. Our defense did look good. We made plays when it really counted.

We were very competitive again tonight, the defense had two goal line stands and the offense put together some good drives. We need to be more aggressive on defense and hold our blocks a little...

They played outstanding defense in the second half. They really stepped it up.

I think everybody needs to understand that we’re not really changing our offense and we’re not changing our defense. We’re going to keep things as consistent for our players as we can.

I think we have to have better help defense. It’s getting a little too easy for guys to get easy lay-ups and easy baskets, period. There isn’t a lot of team defense down there.

I missed a lot of easy shots. No disrespect to their defense. I knew it would be geared toward me, but I missed a lot of shots I would normally make.

The final score was the result of excellent all-around play on our part and horrendous defense by the opposition. Amazingly, the game was actually not as close as the score would indicate.

Our defense did a super job. Offensively I think we moved the ball well. We made the cuts we were supposed to off our screens. I think we did what we were supposed to do.

I can’t talk enough about our defense.

I don’t see why we should not invite (U.S. Defense Secretary) Donald Rumsfeld, (British Foreign Secretary) Jack Straw, (EU foreign policy chief) Javier Solana, and other foreign and defense ministers.

I thought, when we got the 15-point lead, we were playing pretty well. But for whatever reason, our defense stopped. We missed a couple of executions and they picked up their intensity. That was pretty...

But, as usual, our offense fed off our defense, and we were able to pull away late.

We played great defense in the first quarter. Molly, Jen and Cassie were zoning inside and played a tremendously smart game.

He didn’t even try to make a defense for how well it’s working or how it’s going to improve. He was silent about it, and that spoke volumes about how the failure is being perceived...

We played well on defense and we got strong pitching. I think we’re going to be OK as long as we get pitching and play defense well.
