7 Quotes by John Ontjes

Friesen's a tough player. She made some unbelievable shots in the first half.

I thought we were patient out there, and that's what we wanted to do. We took time off the clock and got some shots off. They just didn't go in.

That was no surprise. We expected that pressure. We knew they're long, they're athletic and they're physical. And that's how they get so many easy baskets.

We couldn't get over the hump. We made a good effort to get within eight (points). But then the next three possessions, we turned the basketball over.

We're not going to give up. Just because the score on the scoreboard, that doesn't mean we're not going to foul and try to get back into the game. That's what I want the girls to take from this.

There's no excuse. I would like to have an opportunity to play them again.

The girls executed the offense, and when we wanted to take shots, they were the shots we wanted. But McPherson usually limited us to one-shot opportunities.
