She's a combination guard with good size and is a really good athlete.
Hartford is unquestionably the best team in the conference. What better way to go on the road and get back on track than with a big effort at Hartford?
BU had a lot of energy; obviously they scouted us well. I think we just had some unfortunate forced turnovers; we weren't aggressive enough on the offensive end. You certainly have to give Boston credit on the defensive end, but I thought we were a little tentative tonight.
Jen has exhibited a great deal of leadership in Rachel's absence. She is a very vocal leader. She is continually pushing her teammates to stay positive and give their best effort.
Jen, Jen and Rachel have been such a part of the team for the past four years. It's going to be hard to imagine the team without them.
I think this was a very big win. Vermont is a team that we always point to as a big game. We haven't been very successful against them. They're an outstanding program, and we wanted to start another home win streak and change the tide.
I think Laura has played outstanding in Rachel's absence. She's been a consistent scoring threat, a great defender. She's been very aggressive on the offensive end, filling Rachel's shoes from a scoring standpoint.
I think, for her, she felt personally that being at home would benefit her more. She was a great part of our program for 2 1/2 years; we appreciate the effort she put in and we really wish her the best.
I think at our gym we played much better against their zone, especially in the last 10 minutes. We really controlled that game.
I think it's a must win game. We want to reestablish a winning streak at home. Within the conference you can't afford to lose too many games.
The ankle is very touchy. We don't wanna rush anything.
Winning the last three games, especially the last two games on the road, has been great. We really want to keep the momentum going into Hartford.
That was just great. Syracuse is a very prominent program in the area. It was great to go on the road and beat them.
We're not going to do anything too different. We just want to try to win some games after a couple of tough losses.
We played with a lot more energy than in the previous games.
We were a little nervous. I think we did a nice job to extend the lead to 13 and then Maine turned right around and hit three threes in about a minute. I thought we kept our composure and we made some key foul shots down the stretch. It wasn't pretty, but Maine is a tough team.
We were all watching the Jen Blues 1,000-point watch all season and it was a big relief for her and the team that it happened tonight. We were hopeful it would happen tonight and I am very happy for her.
We obviously tried to put that tough streak behind us. We're ready to get some momentum rolling into the tournament.
We wanted to try to set the tone on the defensive end and really take it to Albany early. We felt like we wanted to establish our presence here at home and I thought we did a great job of that early on.
It was tough, we got out of the gate really slowly. We did a nice job recovering, though. I thought we played a lot better after that opening run.
It was another tough performance on the road. Stony Brook jumped out early and we couldn't execute.
We're very disappointed right now. Give UMBC credit, we could not handle their zone defense. They had a great game plan and we had no answers for how they came at us.
We had a good month. We had some really good wins, and we had some really tough losses.
Offensively, we played very well early. Defensively, we weren't quick enough. We couldn't put the offense and the defense together.
European clubs will generally send out requests to coaches to recommend players to them. So there are a number of avenues for good players who are serious about going overseas to make a connection.
We didn't get enough quality shots off inside. We were kind of relying on the three-pointer.
In high school, Peterson played at the four position, but we feel she can move out to the perimeter.
It went really well tonight. We jumped on them early and came out with a lot of intensity. I'm really proud.
This is a very important game. We're vying for position in the conference with Boston, and we definitely want to get a win at home.
It's day to day and when she's healthy she's going to play. That's not my call, the sports medicine staff is doing a great job with Rachel and it's just one of those things that physically take longer than others.
They didn't give us any easy looks. They got to the line, they got to the basket. Maybe fatigue and the combination of Hartford executing a game plan kind of stopped us in our tracks.
It's gonna take a great team effort. It's going to be their Senior Day, and the emotions will be flowing just like at our Senior Day. We really wanna keep this streak going, but it's going to be tough.
They're clearly the best team in our league. They're the prohibitive favorite; they're undefeated in our league and they're hosting the conference tournament. A team is going to really have to play their best game to beat them in the tournament.
I can't tell you how many times she has made a great hustle play that has lead to a big basket.
