"It feels good being back on the floor and getting to play with my teammates."
"Last week we had very intense practices - non-stop offensive running, non-stop defensive running and I feel like we all just went out played hard, did everything we could and this game was to prove ourselves."
"Each game we get better, each practice we get better, everyone is just working hard, it feels good everyone is excited and we can't wait."
"It still takes me a long time to get warmed up and comfortable in the games, but it's all coming back to me. Since I've been out for a year I haven't played much basketball, so I'm starting over and everything is coming back to me. You have help from your teammates telling you what to do and you have experienced players as motivators."
Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"We didn't go backwards. League starts now in three days for us. You want them focused on getting better and playing the game at hand. That's good that we didn't slip and we didn't play poorly, which sometimes comes if you don't pay attention to what needs to happen everyday. They did a nice job of getting ready to play."
"We got good minutes for all of our kids and that's really important, you have to hope for that opportunity and our bench is better, it's getting better. Our bench was giving us no production offensively the first half of the season and now they're giving us production that we just have to have. You gotta have that support scoring and you gotta have the rebounding and kids that aren't going to hurt you defensively, so they've improved."
