We had the opportunity ordsprog

en We had the opportunity to take the lead. We didn't hit the pressure shots.

en In the first half we built up a little of a lead, but we took some risks. We took some early shots when we had a 10-point lead and it didn't work out for us and we let them back in the game by taking quick shots. Amity came down and scored. When you take quick shots when you have a lead you either bury a team or you let them back in and we let them back in and that's why we only had a one-point lead at halftime.

en It seemed like when they wanted to turn up their defensive pressure, they did. They challenged a lot of our shots, but during that stretch on the offensive end, we had three or four opportunities that didn't go, and they ran the other way with it. The lead went from four to 12 pretty quickly.

en We were playing well and we had a two-goal lead, and we had the opportunity to really get a good cushion. I think that was a big deal in the game. We couldn't get that three-goal lead. We kept getting our shots and getting our shots and we just couldn't put them away.

en We came out and to our credit we didn't take for granted that we beat them once fairly handily. We realized the score was zero-zero tonight and we wanted to come out to a good start, pressure them, make some good shots and get out to an early lead. We were able to do that.

en If we want to contend for a championship, we have to make foul shots early. We can?t give up a big lead because we?re missing shots. I mean, they gave us opportunity. Both teams were in the penalty practically the whole game.

en I wish I could explain it. I really do. We don't bring much full-court pressure. We do one trip here and one trip there. We don't do it four or five trips in a row. Things just kind of fell our way. (Akron-Wayne) just missed some shots. Once we get the lead, we play so much better. We're more at ease when we're in the lead. It just took us a while to get to that point.
