Dingler talks: Jan. 9, 2009


This trip to Oklahoma was a true test of what kind of team we are and what kind of team we will be in the future.

We played Southeastern Okla. on Monday in a game that I would say wasn't our best!! So playing Southwestern Okla., we needed to prove who we were as a team.

We won! - and we answered any questions I had of what kind of team we are going to be in conference! As long as we work hard, stay focused and all have the same goal of winning we will be just fine.

After tonight's game, coach Hearne told us that we were prepared and did a good job turning around so fast on a loss. For us as players and a team, he tells us that we must have short-term memory loss - meaning if we lose, we can't stay mad and upset for long. We have put it behind us and get ready and prepare for the next game coming up. But it is the same with winning as well. We need to use this win as a stepping stone to get ready for our last crossover game - and for conference (it's coming up so soon)!!!

Tonight's game was a good one. JoAnne stepped up and played awesome. Also the bench stepped up. Everyone was prepared to come in and it was fun to see everyone get in and play. I was proud of everyone tonight. It sure makes a five-hour trip on a bus a lot easier. But tomorrow is another day and another practice to get prepared for Cameron on Saturday.
