On target “Sometimes the changes a player has to make are huge,” Auriemma said. “Sometimes they're subtle. Paige knows. She's got to become a better defender on the ball. She's a great defender off the ball. She's got to work twice as hard than she ever did to get open. However hard she thinks she was guarded this year, she's going to be guarded even harder next year. Paige is a ‘Wait for the game to come to me’ kind of player, then she'll turn it on. That's all well and good, but I want Paige to be ‘We win the tap and she's in attack mode’ right from the beginning. These are things you learn as you go along. And she's got to get stronger. People were knocking her around, beating her up. Her body took a toll.” [/QUOTE]
