Quoting Head Coach Rich Manning: "We just played a better team today. Their team defense is terrific and their Head Coach Clive (Charles) wrote the book on team defense. The way the goals were scored is secondary to there possession of the ball the whole game. Possessing the ball is not one of our strengths and they exposed that today."
Summing up the season- "The main reason we had success early is because the players played so well together. They made it happen and were willing to put team goals ahead of their own."
On the seniors- "My last year playing a Santa Clara, we got a new coach and I know how hard the transition is. I'm glad the seniors got a piece of it before they left."
"You can't duplicate the experience of being in the playoffs -- when it is all on the line."
On Portland's Christine Sinclair's performance- "She is so unselfish and that is what makes her a great player. She is just floating around like anyone else and then you look up and she has two goals."
Quoting Senior Defender Maren Harper: "We were a little fatigued from the BYU game, not to make any excuses. We came out strong and played hard. We set goals at the beginning of the year and one of them was to make it to the NCAA Tournament. I'm so glad to be a part of this team.
Quoting Senior Goalkeeper Courtney Hills-McBeth: "Portland is a very experienced and composed team. We fought hard until the end and that is all you can ask for. It was an awesome year and I think it is just the beginning of where this program is headed."
