We shoot about 50 percent as a team, and this is the second time this season we shot 28 percent against this tem. We dug ourselves into a hole, but I thought Kate played a great game and did all the little things for us.

Defense won the game for us. We had an incredible amount of intensity on defense against a good team. This was a huge win for us.

At halftime, I just told the girls that they needed to believe. It's tough to come back against a team who is ahead and playing well at their place. Our backs were against the wall, but we kept on pushing.

I could see in the players' eyes they were ready to go and focused for this game. I expected this to be a close game. We haven't gone up against a team that mirrored us as much as Stratford.
