Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"I couldn't be happier with that kind of an offense from our kids. Our rebounding was tremendous. (Kalee) Whipple defended well, she did a nice job defensively and was pretty consistent defensively."
"The team effort is showing - the kids recognize that it can't always be Morgan and Kalee, they can't score 30 a night every night. Everyone had the responsibility in doing their jobs as well as Morgan and Kalee, and when they do they are the difference in winning games."
"A home win in really critical and this win is very big for us. This game was a grind out game for both sides, that's because it's two good teams getting after each other."
Senior forward Katie King
"Everyone on our team knows our roles and if Kalee (Whipple) is having an off night everyone knows they need to step it up."
Junior forward Halie Sawyer
"Coach always tells us to be active, stay active, and we can get on loose balls, and that is exactly what we did tonight."
"We are coming along, people are putting in extra time. Everyone is learning their roles and accepting their roles and we are improving every game."
San Diego State Head Coach Beth Burns
"This was a tougher team, they were more prepared than we were. We made some terrible decisions. If this was a football game the time of possession would be 15 to 5. Utah is a smart team and they run such a good offense. We were receiving so much pressure to score and we had trouble getting anything going."
