23 Quotes by Jason Hoseney

Finishing eighth is remarkable for this team. We had a lot of ups and downs, but to pull it together and do as well as we did in the tournament was unexpected. When we hit adversity, we sometimes drifted. In Saturday's game with Whatcom, we surged through that and got a win to get to the last day, which was our goal.

We were emotionally up-and-down during the preseason. We started out 4-1 and felt really good, but then we ran into some adversity by losing four in a row. The girls started questioning themselves, and a lot of the freshmen thought they were going to be part of a successful team when they signed on.

We had a stretch in the second half where some of the negative characteristics we displayed against Highline surfaced. Fortunately, it didn't continue the entire second half, but for only a four- or five-minute stretch. Against better teams, that will beat you.

We felt pretty good about ourselves in the first half. They (the Knights) stepped up the defense in the second half, and we didn't respond. We got a little impatient, stopped sharing the ball and shot it too quickly. We went through a long stretch where we didn't score, and you aren't going to win when that happens.

We shot the ball well and maintained our composure, for the most part, throughout the game. That's really the difference with us.

We did an outstanding job on the boards, led by Stacey, who had great energy.

Even though we lost, I felt it was a game we could've won. There were some tough circumstances we were facing, including playing the second day of a tournament after having to travel a significant distance. I think we'll meet the challenge this time and have a good game.

Sam is expected to step in and continue the same improvement she's also shown during the season.

They're much like us because they also go through long periods of scoring funks. We'll need to score consistently if we want an opportunity to win.
