Sarah.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
The first first quarter came out as a team really
strong and able to shock.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
I think of maybe defensively, you seem to be really
zeroed in in your offense.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
What was the key to get that quick start for
your team?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, I feel like our defense kind of led to
our offense. You were trying to be aggressive, get them
out of what they're they're used to running, so just
playing you come beast wall defensively.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Just being disruptive.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
So I feel like that carried over to our offense and.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
The defensively it looked like I wanted to get the
ball down low in the post.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
You had a lot of defensive.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Play right there, but yet your guards were able to
take some pressure on the wings.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is that by design or how are you playing?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
What was the incentive how you wanted to play them defensively?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, just they knew, we knew what they want to
get the ball in the post. Just all of them
scoring the postings and out of the guards, no threes.
We know they're really great shooters, so just running them
off the line.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You had a really big first half and it seemed
that your team needed that from you in there, and
it was more of Were you surprised that the open
looks that you had from the outside.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I mean surprised, No, I mean I was just reading basketball,
just shooting when I was open and trying to make
the right past.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So not really it seemed hazy.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know, a great shooter didn't necessarily have any uh
you know.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
The long range shot dropping for her in the first half.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But second half, it just seemed that you all managed
to find her with to get her rhythm, and really
that seemed to what distance you all, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I mean again, going into halftime, I was telling her
keep shooting, keep shooting like it's gonna fall. Like you're
not gonna have a bad shooting mag that's impossible for her.
So I just told her, you know, to keep shooting,
keep being confident in herself.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And she didn't.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
As far as the defense, again, it seems that's a
big theme for your team the first eleven twelve games
of this season.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And you where it's either.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
In the post you're poking somebody you know, the ball
from behind, or or managed to get in the passing lanes.
Is what is the knack or the secret that you
have and just finding ways to make that impact.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I mean I just sometimes I just hold the ball down.
I'm like, okay, well like it it was right there,
like just tip it. But I'm just I don't know,
just the game, seeing where the ball is, when my teammates.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
What is the atmosphere here it's an away game, seem
to have a lot of U kind love out there.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I mean yeah, I feel like every game we have
it's it was like a home game for us. We
have the again, the best, the best fan base. They
travel with us, they're everywhere, so very very happy to
have them talk.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
About I get, is there any fatigue?
Speaker 1 (02:19):

exams and everything. Are you ready for a little bit
of breaking Christmas cheer?

my family.

for Santa you're hoping to bring, uh, I don't know.
