\u201cWe just had to settle in and trust each other and go back to what we had worked on because Cedar Valley is one of the best pressing teams that you\u2019re going to see, so we just had to go back, trust each other and make solid passes, take care of the ball,\u201d Hull said.<\/p>\n

Cedar Valley continued to hang tough in the second half, but the big second quarter by Wasatch proved to big of a deficit to overcome. Every time Cedar Valley tried to go on a run, Wasatch was quick to answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a special team,\u201d Hull said. \u201cI have four seniors that start and 10 seniors on the whole team, so they\u2019ve been together a long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love each other and we all work well together. I think that is our secret sauce, just the love and trust we have for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hull could not be more proud of what she is seeing out of her team right now, but she is certainly not content and satisfied, knowing that her team still has plenty they need to work on, particularly with taking care of the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely want to always work on taking care of the ball. I feel though like we did a really good job of boxing out, that is something we usually try to work on as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am just really proud of these girls. The great thing about my girls is that I never have to say we need more effort because they always give 100%.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
