We really struggled at the start of the game on the offensive end. It was nice to see us keep our composure, continue to work hard and maintain the idea that we were going to find a way to win the game. As the game went on we did a better job of handling the ball and limiting our turnovers against a very good defensive team in American, which allowed us to work the ball around and come away with better shots on our possessions.

Every time we got something going they would make a big play. You can't come out against a good team and dig yourself into a hole from the get-go. We were playing from behind for the entire game.

Our effort was there. I don't question our effort. What I do question is our decision making. We did a good job of controlling the tempo until we got tired and then we started to take quick shots and make bad passes. Kate Hobbs getting in foul trouble also really hurt. We missed her against the press.

Colgate has shot the ball really well at times this season. Thankfully, they haven't shot the lights out against us, but their tendency to get hot worries me.

I don't like playing against her. She has really caused us problems. She makes big plays. ... She did it to us last year as a freshman and she did it again to us this year.
