Quoting Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliot
"We did some things well and there were a few things that we need to improve on. Oregon State is aggressive and they are a nice team. They are a very tough team and they play hard. We just couldn't make the runs to put the game away early like we wanted to."
"Turnovers were the big key that prevented us from pulling away. We have turned the ball over a lot in the last few games and that is something we are really trying to improve on. I don't attribute that to the greatness of our opponents, I think we are just a young team. We need more confidence from our younger players. They are learning that the game isn't easy and it is tougher now."
"We are playing a few more players this year as compared to last season. We are not going to win with just two or three kids, we are going to need the whole team to be successful."
Quoting Senior Guard Shona Thorburn
"Well, we pulled it off. It is early in the season and you can tell that with our performance. We are not worried about that right now. We are 3-1 and we have been playing some tough teams."
"We could have pulled away, but we are young and it's a learning process. We are at home for three more games and I think we are going to see a lot of improvement. We are trying to see who is playing well together and we will adjust from there."
