I think that’s good. However, there is going to come a time when they will have to face up to what happened. What things were out of our control and what things were in our control. There are things you can’t pretend didn’t happen.” His players took the most important lesson from the loss: They hate to lose. “We could watch it, analyze it, but the biggest takeaway is how we all felt and we never want to be in that position again,” said Katie Lou Samuelson. “We just have to learn from it and we want to have a fresh start, not get too caught up on the past. It will fuel us as we go forward.” Gabby has a warning for everyone else: “Stewie said it my freshman year. You don’t want to play us after we lose,” Williams said, referring to former Huskies star Breanna Stewart. “We’ll come back as a force. It speaks to the culture of the program. We don’t like to lose. We don’t dwell on it, we don’t look back. It doesn’t become a snowball effect. We see what went wrong and fix it.” [/QUOTE]
