Head Coach Dianne Nolan

Here are some thoughts from Fairfield women's head basketball coach Dianne Nolan:

On the importance of the stellar play of Baendu Lowenthal in the post:
"Very Important. You need to score inside and out and B always draws attention and in return opens things for other people."

On why Iona was able to go on such a big run in the first half:
"We missed easy shots. Our defense can hold only so many possessions. We worked hard to get some looks and couldn't knock them down."

On how big a factor Iona's rebounding affected the Stags:
"Big, no pun intended. They went hard to the boards from every position and it hurt us."

On how the Stags currently sit in the season:
"Right now we are in a battle for third place with many home games left. That seed will put us in a good spot. I am pleased with the progress of our offense and young team."

On being chosen for induction into the South Jersey Basketball Hall of Fame:
"It is always nice when an outside group notices what you have done. This honor is particularly special since the Club is based out of my home area. It is a Club I have always had the utmost respect for and to be honored by them is touching."
