This was a hard fought and competitive game. In practice we talked about this being the time of year where the intensity picks up and we certainly saw that tonight. Josh had his girls ready to go. UM played us tough and did a nice job contesting shots. Considering that they were missing Lancit, they really played well.

We've been slumping on offense lately, and with Lancit out our girls did a nice job pressuring them and getting turnovers. That and containing Marie Meyers were, in my opinion the difference in the game.

Bri McFerran really contested the inbounds pass, we had her with 5 deflections. Her disruptiveness allowed our guards to pressure them. And even though Mady Rossiter only scored 3 points, she did a great job of marking Meyers.

Dani got off to to slow start on offense, but she got going and let us with 27 points.

Key Moment: End of 3rd, beginning of fourth: In the third quarter, they cut the lead down to 2 points, but our girls finished the quarter strong and we maintained the lead we had at the half and stopped their momentum. I told my assistant that we handled their run and we should be good. We were fortunate to make a few shots to start the 4th to open the lead up to 16 to give us some breathing room.
