We are pleased to bring Cliff back. He is a seasoned player who defends well in the low post and can also step outside to make a three-point shot.
We've always been on the doorstep and I think this year is our year to prove that we are up in that caliber. From top to bottom on paper we're the best team in the nation.
We've always been concerned about this, but we stepped in two years ago to stop this trend. Having completed the first full year of AccessUVa, we have seen a change in those numbers, and we are not going to let up until we've turned the trend line.
We've already been talking about it, how definitely as a unit we're going to step it up another notch. It would be great if we could all stay together and get it rolling for next year.
We've all had a month to prepare for this game, so they've all been studying us in and out. Everyone hyped this up to be an offensive game, and definitely the defense stepped up better than the offense did.
We've all been slowly working our way back. I still didn't make any money in 2004, but we're taking good steps forward this summer.
We started this game with some players on the sidelines (injured) that we thought would make the difference. The guys who stepped in there played their hearts out. It was a great team effort.
We're going to meet a lot of times this season, and it's going to be a battle each and every time we step on a track. We're all competitors, and we're all going to put on a show.
We're going to maybe schedule more games in Idaho for Cora. She stepped in and did a nice job.
We're going to lose a lot when we lose them all. We've been trying to get as much experience for our younger girls as we can. We have a couple of girls that will be ready to step in, but we're certainly taking a step back when we lose them.
