Quotes by Kris Kalivas

“The momentum shifted back their direction, and when it came crunch time, they stepped it up and we got scared. They picked up their defensive pressure, and instead of us reacting to that and stepping up to that challenge, we went the other direction.”

“Unfortunately, weve struggled as of late with consistency. I think we look at the scoreboard, we see weve tied or taken the lead and we relax. The last three games it has cost us.”

“Were not able to capitalize on our momentum. When we do have it, we lose it immediately.”

“We spotted them a good 10 (points) in the first quarter. We played a real nice second quarter, defensively. Unfortunately, we didnt duplicate that defensive effort the rest of the ballgame.”

“With the way we were playing, I felt I needed to reinforce that just a little stronger during that timeout.”

“I was happy with how the kids came out in the second half. They really stepped up and werent afraid of the contact, and they went up strong with the ball.”

“We were a little flat early on. I thought we got our legs under us in the second half, and were able to build the lead as the game went on.”

“Thats the way it always is. Were a very balanced ball club and a very even ball club.”

“She knows that thats her role. I think shes accepted it. I think shes accepted whatever role weve put her in. Shes just a kid that goes hard every time she steps on the floor. Finishing her free throws is part of that.”

“We would like to cut down on the strikeouts, but that will come through facing live pitching. We just didnt put the ball in play when we needed to.”
