Curt Fredrickson Time Quotations

It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.

We didn't get a lot of hits and didn't get a lot of scoring opportunities. When we did get runners, we had a hard time scoring them.

We had a hard time getting the big hit when we needed it. Overall, I was very pleased with our pitching and our defense.

At halftime we talked about being aggressive. We needed to get more aggressive and get to the free throw line. With our interior players we should get to the free throw line more than we did in the first half.

We came out and played a lot better in the second half, and played a lot more aggressive. We just had a hard time stopping them in the first half. They made a lot of good shots and really hustled. Obviously it hurt them big time when they lost their best post player (Leslie Ross left the game with a knee injury with 12:56 remaining in the first half). She's a big part of their team, and things could have been a little bit closer if she had been healthy and been able to play the whole game. It's unfortunate that she got hurt.

We only made two out of the four technical free throws. So it wasn't like it was a six-point swing or anything. They just had a hard time making shots after that and we executed down the stretch and did the things we needed to do to win the game.
