We're goin' DANCIN'!!!!!

   Vegas treated us VERY well this past weekend. Our team is West Coast Conference CHAMPIONS!!! We flew into Vegas on Thursday night and had the semi-final game on Saturday against San Diego. As soon as we set foot in Vegas, I could feel the our team was ready to win a championship. Everyone was focussed and ready for war!!

This is when we beat San Diego at home! We are 3-0 with San Diego (BOO ya!!!!) Also, a shout out to my teammate Haley Steed! She was MVP of the tournament, down in Vegas, and it was well-deserved. She is a very special player and does so much for this team. In my opinion, she's the best point guard in then nation!!!!! Love that girl.
After the win on Saturday, we went to the buffet at the Whynn hotel. We always go to a buffet when we're in Vegas and we thoroughly enjoy ourselves. We love to eat!! 
CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!
   This is what we work so hard for every single day. We get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, which was our ultimate goal. In my career at BYU, I've never had the opportunity to go to the Big Dance and I am so excited. We are not just satisfied with getting there though, we fully anticipate on making a run there too. We are ready to show people what this team is really made of! 
   The championship game against Gonzaga was a hard fought game. We threw the first punch and kept on battling the whole game and the Zags didn't have an answer in the second half. There was SO much emotion and our fans were unbelievable! I think the ratio was 4:1 for Gonzaga fans but... our Cougar fans were loud and proud and electrified the whole arena. It was such an amazing experience and I loved being on the court and doing my part to help our team get that win. It was a TEAM win and that is most certainly when we are at our best! My teammate, Dani, stepped it up BIG time and had the game of her life. We get all of our energy and momentum from our defense and getting big rebounds and once that happens... we are really, really hard to stop on offense. When that buzzer went off.... it was a pretty incredible feeling!!! SOOO proud of my team!!! 
After the win... we had quite the celebration!!! We screamed, we cried, we danced, we cut the nets down... and, of course, we stuffed our faces with delicious food. 
Cheers to a job well-done!
I like the looks of that!!
At the airport, I was emotionally and physically drained from the crazy night. So, I thought I would do a little oxygen bar session. It was supposed to help me feel relaxed and revive me a little bit! While I say there, the lady massaged my back with these devices and what not. I was lovin' life!! It was $15 but... I did feel better afterwards!!! It was fun to try something new!! 

   We won't know who we play or where we play for another week. We are so excited and have a week to work hard and prepare for the Big Dance!!!! Stay posted and keep supporting my awesome team!!!!
