We had a tough second inning. They got a few hits and bunched them together for five runs.
We started really well. Playing on the road isn't easy and getting a good start is so important and we really did a good job early on. We didn't maintain the intensity, but after a start like that, it is tough to keep up that level.
Ali stepped up and had a nice game. She made a couple of tough shots inside and was able to get to the free-throw line a few times. Miranda also stepped up her level of play.
(Amanda Reimer) really did a number on us last year when they came up and played us and we weren't about to let that happen again. Our focus was to shut down their drives to the basket and make it as tough as possible for their post players to move.
It's hard to have to start the season playing the number one preseason favorite on the road (Wayne State). It'll be tough but we'll get it out of the way.
