We wanted to build on whatever we could get this year and we kind of exceeded our early expectations. Now that we're here we'll continue to compete and play hard.

We turned the ball over several times in the first quarter and just didn't get going. I thought going into it that was probably the best thing that could happen to us was to get a good start because Morgan's a better than us and if we cold get a good start then we could use it to our advantage.

Coffee broke out tonight. She only had one point against Westbrook. She's obviously very competitive and involved with the game. You can't hold her down very often.

They set the tempo pretty much all game. They pressed us and took us out of our game and we became nervous and started to panic. We're a young team and we're learning and always trying to get better.
