?I think it was a better 20 minutes and a better second half for us. Our defense was very good tonight, Amy Ewert was exceptional and she works so hard to get done what you ask of her defensively. She?s a focused player, and intense player and an intelligent player. I?m really pleased with what she?s given us at the defensive end of the floor. ?
