Ann Douglas Quotes

There`s going to be a lot of things happen between now and then, and from my point of view, I just can`t really think about it.

We didn`t feel like ourselves in the first half.

They threw everything at us. We had to defend very well at the end.

Four points out of that...we`ve got to be a little bit happy. We didn`t make it easy for ourselves. When you get behind on the scoreboard the thing is not to panic and we held together and believed to could do it.

The Blues threw everything at us and got points on us in the first half but the guys kept their composure and we really went up a level to come away with the win.

It wasn`t pretty out there. It felt a bit stop-start to us but it was good to get a win and we`re happy to come away with five points.

We didn`t feel like ourselves in the first half. We realized at halftime that we had to hold onto the ball, work harder and we did that in the second half. But it certainly wasn`t polished.
