Offensively we switched a lot of stuff up possession after possession and defensively we did a great job again in the half court. We did a nice job in transition and had some really great passing out of our high low action. Now we move onto the post-season where records don’t mean a thing! We have to be locked in and ready to play night in and night out from this point on! Congratulations Ladies on a great regular season but there is still work to be done!”
