We moved the ball, took great care of it, and then hit open shots when given the opportunity. The one thing we didn’t do well was attack the paint off the dribble. They play very aggressive defense and have fouled a lot in previous games and we didn’t do a very good job of attacking all the way to the rim to get to the foul line. Defensively we did a great job of limiting them runs. They have 6 girls that can score 20 a night. They have had different people show up in the scoring column. We did a great job of limiting them. We held 3 of these players to just 19 points combined where these three have been averaging nearly 40 a game. Great job ladies!”
