Positives:
*Win 63-78!
*5 players scoring in double figures!
*A very strong performance of
Jossan Olheim. High efficiency in everything she did. Great leadership!
Formula: Tough defense topped with dominating boards wasn’t fully accomplished as we planned even though we got the win. We mixed man-to-man and zone defense throughout the whole game.
Negatives:
*Rebounding! We lost this fight in every quarter. That isn’t something we want to continue on and it must be addressed and taken seriously.
*Shooting only 6/7 FT in the whole game.
Summary, we won because of our mutual effort in defense and many players contributing in scoring. Energy in the second half was higher resulting in wanted outcome. In sports, energy is everything in my opinion. If we care about what we want to do together and we hate to lose, energy is the best friend one can show and share with others!
From our kitchen:
Maria Näsström is getting stronger and stronger after her knee surgery.
Jessica Nilsson injured her groin and goes through rehab.
Martina Krsek is sick and stayed at home.
I hope this Friday we can show a great effort against Sallén! Solnahallen kl.19.00.Come and share your energy with us!

INFÖR MATCH
First game of 2010 against Umeå!
I want to believe that Christmas break we used wisely and most efficient.
We didn’t escape injuries/sicknesses, but that isn’t something new. New year - new hopes, a deeper appreciation to what we have, maybe evaluation of few things we want to change in us. No doubts, with clock ticking, I hope our wisdom gains more weight but not our bodies.
Umeå has
Amy Mohr and
Pamela Rosario, who joined the team in November. This duo has a huge input and control of Umeå’s game. Both average 37 min., 46 pts. of total 61.8, 21 reb. of team’s 36, and both create plenty FT attempts.
Keys to our victory:
1. TEAM EFFORT
2. ATTITUDE
3. MINIMIZING Amy’s and Pamela’s ball touches.
Energy. We must have it and we must share to each other. Energy is so important to me. If we care about our purpose, we possess it. If we hate to lose, we possess it!
Happy 2010 !!
