Team Records and Series Notes
(You had a lot of players play a lot of minutes tonight, was there anybody that you were really impressed with tonight?)
"I thought that overall we had some good production from a lot of players. Sam Fuehring wasn't feeling well today, but I thought that she came out and played extremely hard. It's just the turnovers that she's got to cut down. I told her that if she's not feeling good on Sunday then obviously I can't play you because you throw it to the other team when you're not feeling well and we can't have that. They are turnovers that she knows she can't make that she has to cut down on. Of our 17 turnovers, I think 11 of them came from our post players and we have to get rid of that. They aren't handling the ball enough to get 11 of our 17 turnovers."
For the game, overall, our goal was to see if we could get a few more quarters under nine points or less. That was our focus, the first quarter we had it right there and then we had some break downs. We give up a lay-up on a sideline out of bounds play, we don't communicate and we give up the three with 52 seconds to go. But, those are things that we're going to be able to take the film and show them, that these are the breakdowns that are costing us"
