27 Quotes by Gina Nolan

We couldn't have played much worse the first time we played against West Chicago. And they shot incredibly well, while we shot incredibly poorly.

We came out strong to start the second half, and I think that helped set a tempo for us.

We stayed in our zone and it probably looked more like a saggy man-to-man when they went four out in the second half.

We knew we had to come to play tonight, especially with it being their Senior Night. They're a good team. They fight. They're scrappy.

We couldn't hang onto the ball. I'd say a good portion of our turnovers were unforced errors. The ball came right to us and it dribbled right off our hands. I don't know if that's being afraid of them coming at us, but that's something we definitely have to work on, just being in more control and stronger with the ball on offense.

Some shots didn't fall, but it's part of the game. We had a few shots blocked early, and I think that had an effect. It made us a little tentative the first half to attack the basket.

They're a good team and they came back and scrapped in the second half. We knew we could never sit back. We knew we had to keep attacking.

It was a tale of two halves. The first half, we came out flat and couldn't hit anything. They (North Stars) were scoring, it almost seemed, at will. At halftime, I challenged the girls to come out to play with a lot of pride and heart and not to give up. There was a lot of basketball to play. I'm very proud of them.

Taylor and Bailey hit such important shots. Taylor's defense is amazing. She has no fear. She just went right at them and did a great job.
