Gail Goestenkors Shots Quotations

This team has always played together well. They've always been unselfish. It starts with the senior leadership. They could take 20 shots a game but they don't, and they make sure everyone gets involved.

We took two real quick shots in a row, and on both occasions they came down and scored. They took the wind out of our sails a little bit.

We don't run many plays for her at all, which is different than we had in the past. But the grand scheme was to make everybody feel important. So her minutes have gone down, her shots have gone down, her productivity per minute has gone up.

She was much more aggressive with the basketball, and it paid off for her and for us. She still passed up three or four shots that I wish she would have taken. But it's a great start for her, and I hope she can build on that.

We were a little over anxious to play. We shot the ball well when we got shots off, but to turn it over 31 times, I don't think I've ever seen that from this team. I'm disappointed by that.

Once we got the lead we were anxious and we took two quick shots and then they came down the scored. We made our run and they withstood it.

When she's blocking shots, I think it's extremely intimidating to the opponent, and it also changes shots and that gets the transition game going. She gets the ball out quickly.

It was gradual. They hit shots and continued to gain more confidence. Our defense in the second half was not as good as it was in the first half, and they hit great shots.
