Quotes from Head Coach LaTonya McDole



"We had great intensity tonight and remained poised for the full forty minutes. Tournament time is a great time for us to come together as one and we did that in tonight's win."



"Aaron Evans gave us a great spark tonight. She missed our first tournament game but we always expect her to produce. Aaron and Chervelle (Cox) did a great job of being efficient in the paint tonight, combining to make 10 of 14 shot attempts."
 
 
"This is the postseason. We are motivated. We lost in the finals the previous two years and are hungry for redemption this season."
