Brooke Svendsen Quotations

I was very happy with the way the girls came out. They went hard at the basket. We used a lot of our inside-outside game, which is our strength.

This one the players get the credit. They were the ones making plays on the floor and maintaining their energy.

We came off a little rusty from the (10-day) break. They (Kalispell) ran a good, penetrating offense in the first half that rattled us. They were getting easy baskets and we weren't shooting the ball very well. We needed to change things up so I went with a little younger lineup with Kelsey Ham in there because she's such a quick little guard on defense. She turned out to be a little spark for us and the rest of the players did little things well, which is what it's going to take.

This is a good bunch of girls. They really have understood their roles this year. They haven't always gotten the playing time that they're accustomed to. They're a good motivation for the team; they try to keep the morale pretty high.

When you come down (to Senior) you know you're going to be in for a battle. It's a tough place to play, and we haven't played very well in Billings, ever, for some reason. And so it's really nice to come away with a conference win.

We could have gotten more of those in the first half and the beginning of the second half but we kept jumping. So I told them to keep their feet planted and take the charge. They did a good job with that.

We planted a post back to stop those quick attacks.

It will be an exciting night; I think it will be a fun night for the entire valley. This place will be rockin' pretty good.

Tonight was probably one of our best defensive efforts.
