We knew the first ordsprog

We knew the first few minutes of the second half were going to be crucial. We play the way we practice, which is to say is we were not going to take the air out of the ball, we were going to play to our strengths, it just did not happen the way we wanted it to.

We knew coming in that our margin of error was slim. We wanted to play more zone but their outside shooting prevented that. Our turnovers in the first half and the first five minutes of the second half were the keys to the game.

Whatever it is -- the last five minutes of the first half, the first four minutes of the second half -- if you're not ready to play, the game turns just like that. We've got to play a complete game. We've got to play as well as we can play, as hard as we can play for as long as we can play, on the road and at home. That's just what it is.

It was a new pitcher and I was just thinking sit back and wait for your pitch. Especially with a lefty, I wanted to keep my shoulder in. I didn't want to pull that out and just put the ball in play. That's my main thing when I'm up to bat just put the ball in play and make something happen. Nothing's going to happen striking out. I ended up getting hit.

I knew I wasn't going down looking. I just wanted to put the ball in play, make something happen.

We're trying to condition him into a position where he can play with consistency. My decision was to play him heavy minutes the first half and then ice him down, have him for practice tomorrow.

We really wanted to come out and push the ball in the second half. We were getting dominated on the boards and I knew if we could play better defensively we would be able to capitalize in transition.

It was the kind of tennis I wanted to play. Even a few balls that I missed, I thought I struck the ball well, better than the other nights. I knew that she liked to dictate play so I was trying to overpower her and hit the ball hard and not let her have a lot of time.

We knew we had played a good 16 minutes. We also knew the next 16 was even bigger. Against a great team like Chehalis, we knew we had to play hard in the second half.

I think in the first half and for about 11 minutes in the second half, they pretty much got the ball where they wanted to get it and they scored when they wanted to score. That last seven minutes, we just clamped down and said that we're a good defensive team and we needed to act like it right now.

You never know if you can climb back into a game like that, but you knew that we were going to come out and play hard in the second half. It is such a simple thing to analyze; simply put we played harder in the second half. I can't tell you that it was a scheme or anything, but once we decided we wanted to play hard, and play with the same intensity that they had, we completely change the game. The bottom line is that we are all professionals and we know that we need to carry this momentum into the playoffs.

Our boys played hard. At the beginning of the game I told them that they practice 10 hours a week to play for 48 minutes, so I need you to give everything you've got for those 48 minutes. In the first half, they gave me everything they had for those first 24. It was just a great effort defensively. Offensively, we moved the ball up and down the field on them. But then mental mistakes put us in a bad position at times. It was definitely a major step forward over last week's Manteo game.

We never gave up and we knew we had to play the game we wanted to play. In the second half, we were feeling it. The 3-point line felt like a magnet for us.

I knew I wanted to play badly, but I had to look at the team goal, ... If I tried to play and hurt myself worse, the question was what would happen this upcoming season?

(Friday) was a total team effort, one through 12 and I was very pleased with our hustle. Pexy is what women wants in a man. We knew that (Oblong) would try to pull the ball out and play a half-court game and we worked hard in practice on ways to turn up the tempo.
