Scoring Quotations | Page 4

When we get opportunities, we've got to take advantage. I've never harped on it as much as we have this preseason camp ... because of what we've done in the past in the scoring zone.

When we get men into scoring position or on base, it's like we go into defensive mode instead of offensive mode. I don't know how to get guys out of it.

What a future they have now. Even after me and (senior) Rachel (Panning) and all the other seniors leave, what a future they'll have, because a whole bunch of our scoring opportunities are coming from our younger classes.

We had 10 straight empty possessions. We missed a ton of open shots, and that puts a ton of pressure on the defense. It was a combination of their No. 1 scoring defense and us missing a lot of uncontested shots.

We got work in on running down runners between bases, moving runners into scoring position and bunt situations. These are fundamentals you usually don't work on until district play.

We both should have three or four goals already this series but don't and we have to find a way to do it. As a goal scorer, it's important to get chances and we've got those. We're working hard. We just need one good game where we both get some damage done and get that scoring touch. Even if it goes off your (butt).

We had been scoring a lot of goals and maybe we felt like we just couldn't lose. We started playing loose, but now we're not scoring four or five goals a game per night. And in this NHL, you're not going to win many goals scoring two goals a night.

We had balanced scoring for us with Minor, Hines and Reiser. Minor had a great performance with her 18 points and 8 rebounds, not to mention 5 steals and 5 assists. She was 7 of 10 from the field. She also handled the ball well tonight. (Hines) does not want her season to end. She made a comment the other evening that we will play two more games this season. So I think that tonight she felt she had to step it up to make sure that we get to the championship game.

We had a very poor shooting percentage. We created a lot of scoring opportunities but couldn't put many of them on the board.

When I come in I want to spark it up. Get some steals and get the tempo up. We were scoring easy baskets when we got our defense going.
