There's something about playing at Springfield that brings out the best in our shooting and competitiveness. This is the 2nd straight year we've scored over 70 at their gym. Tonight we won 79 - 51, last year it was 76 - 61. It was also the 2nd year in a row that the game was MUCH more competitive than the final score would indicate. The difference in the game was that we were able to to on a run in both the 2nd and 4th quarters.

Compliments to Springfield. They really battled us. Other than runs in the 2nd and 4th quarter it was back and forth. Dave has them playing well, they're a tough match up.

Even at full strength we're undersized, this is our 3rd in a row without Mady Rossiter, our starting center. Knowing that Ava Cullen absolute is an absolute beast we made the decision to take advantage of our guard play and force the tempo and that seemed to work for us. We were able to get shots in rhythm and we were fortunate that our perimeter shots were falling.

Key Moments - In the 2nd and 4th quarters our tempo started to take it's toll and we were able to force some turnovers

Props - Emma DiJoseph was able to get on track offensively. To start the year her shots were straight and looked good, they were just a little off. Last game she made a few and tonight she was back to the player we expect her to be.

More props - Briana McFerran really played tough inside. Ava Cullen is a tough match up, and despite her 26 points and probably just as many rebounds, Bri continued to battle.
