00:00 not regroup, but just make those changes
00:02 'cause you have three, four big games left on your season.
00:04 You guys are trying to do things
00:05 that haven't been done in Cal in a while.
00:07 What do you need to do as a group to regroup
00:09 and move forward going into the next weekend
00:11 against Arizona and Arizona State?
00:12 - I would think that it's just a game of runs,
00:16 fast ball is, and I mean, we got punched today,
00:19 but it's how we bounce back
00:20 and we know what we're capable of
00:22 and we just have to show that confidence moving forward.
00:24 We know we can do it.
00:29 - Marta, when you played in previous schools
00:32 and in previous conferences,
00:33 there are big dogs that you guys have faced
00:35 the way that Stanford is in this conference.
00:36 After playing them twice this year,
00:38 what, I guess, can you kind of take away
00:39 about how close you guys might be to them?
00:42 The result's not here, but does it feel like
00:45 there's things that you can pull out of tonight
00:46 that make you feel like the team's pretty close at home?
00:49 - Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:51 I think you can see that if you've been following us
00:53 through the season, there's been a growth.
00:56 We have a bunch of newcomers in the team,
00:58 at least three in the starting five, no two.
01:02 So it's been a process to get to know each other,
01:05 to figure out, came here late,
01:06 to figure out how to play with each other,
01:08 to figure out our positions and stuff,
01:10 but we're definitely proud.
01:12 We don't, it wasn't,
01:14 let me rephrase that.
01:17 This loss doesn't take a step back or anything.
01:21 If anything, we've had other tough games
01:23 in during the season that we've learned from all of them.
01:25 We've come back and we've swept the Washington.
01:30 So we just want to keep pushing and see this game
01:34 and learn from our mistakes and learn from Samford.
01:37 What they do right, they have length,
01:39 but they're very disciplined on defense.
01:41 You know, that's something that we may be a step back there,
01:44 but we got practice tomorrow and that's all we need.
01:47 - I know Charmaine mentioned some of the shot selection.
01:51 She didn't necessarily like,
01:53 but was there something Samford does,
01:56 Marta just mentioned their length,
01:58 that took you out of, you know,
02:00 generating some of the shots that you're accustomed to get?
02:04 - I think we needed to adjust a little bit better
02:08 and understanding the shots that we can get.
02:12 We had a lot of mismatches,
02:13 advantages that we should have took more advantage of.
02:17 Yeah, just understanding that we can't get always plan A
02:19 and we have to move on to the next one.
