They were better conditioned than us and are superior athletes. This game showed my players how hard you have to work to compete at this level. We are closing the gap, and I feel good about this team.
We always tell our ladies, you work hard, you bust your butt, you go through walls and it will happen for you. And it didn't happen for us.
We felt tonight like we would make history. We thought we deserved it and worked for it.
