"I was very tired and fatigued so I was just thinking about getting stops on defense and then our offense would come. I was guarding a very good player and I was tired and I think getting stops is most important for us and our offense."
"We started off a little rough but before conference time last year we came around. I think it is paying off. We have played some really good teams in the pre-season and sometimes our record doesn't look so good but maturity-wise on our team we are growing a lot every day and I think it is starting to show."
"During halftime in the locker room we saw what we did coming into halftime so we just wanted to start that up after halftime. We just wanted to win."
"I have been working on being aggressive and scoring this year. If I see a line I will be aggressive and go for it but if not I will back up and run the play."
Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"My main concern was that we turned the ball over 11 times in the first half giving SMU that many more opportunities. That has been a real struggle for us. It was a good change out of the second half, we got some production out of our bench and that is important for us."
"We have had some really good wins over the last few weeks. It is a good sign that we are getting better and we will be successful in building this new group of players and to see the success now is a very good sign."
"We played too soft in the first half on defense and we had to make that adjustment in the second half. We didn't have the intensity or movement so we had to go to a more pressure push out pressure defense."
