Katie Butler is having a great second half of the year. And defensively, she is so much better than she was earlier in the year. She's not afraid to shoot the ball, and she is a very good player off the bench. She's as important to our team as anyone.
We could not make an outside shot, and they were daring us to shoot from the outside. You make a zone look really good if you can't buy an outside shot, and there was not a lot inside because they dared us to shoot from the peri- meter. We had some open shots, but they would not fall.
We ask Healy to do so much, and I thought she just did really a good job. She's never satisfied, and I'm always on her. She had a great game. She's one of those kids, for us, that is really coming into her own at a time when we really need her.
We've been living and dying with our defense and trying to get some shots. Our defense has got to be there for us, and it was really good today.
We limited SIUE to just one shot on the defensive end for the most part, and I thought we did a very good job of keeping them off the boards. I told our players we needed to keep SIUE from getting offensive rebounds, and we did that.
