Saundra Hess Quotations

Every time we get in trouble it's because we're tentative. Execution is critical.

The critical factor for this team is they have to remain disciplined and focused. I think that's what kept them from the playoffs last year and the year before.

Our goal is to close the gap and we're in complete control of that. I think the girls are beginning to sense that (the playoffs) could become a reality.

I forgot how much work it was. Switching over to this, they have helped me make this a good adjustment.

I have to find a better answer and the kids have to find a better answer. It's time to redeem ourselves and pull it back together.

Those games went so fast because we didn't play full matches, and we couldn't get settled in but we're happy with how we came came out. It's a good confidence builder for us; we just need to come in on Saturday morning and take care of business so we can advance to the championship bracket.

We could never get a run going. We shot ourselves in the foot.

They were just serving the lights out of the ball. We had to scrap and fight for everything in that first game.

We had discussed in practice that we have to over come obstacles. When we get in trouble we can't have the letdowns.

Our goal has to be to get into the playoffs. They're working every bit as hard as I expect them to.
