Head Coach Dianne Nolan (opening statement): "I thought the kids came out very focused. I feel it was a dangerous opponent. We beat them up in their place for their first home loss. I'm sure it was a date circled on their calenders. I thought our kids played focused and shared the basketball and made some plays. And I thought defensive certainly the second half we did what we needed to do. I was very happy with the focus in there. Obviously the lady next to me [Sabra Wrice] had a lot to do with that. And she was a little sick today. Maybe we should get you sick more often."
Nolan (on the balanced offense): "We went through a stretch where our offense was stagnant. So we went out with a few different looks to move the players, move the basketball. And it helped us today instead of trying to create off the first pass, we tried to emphasize moving it, and I thought the players did a good job of that, made the pass to the person who should get it and that person made the bucket."
Junior guard/captain Sabra Wrice (on her season-high 23 points): "I just practiced moving to the ball. That's what we did with the guards, position shooting. We just practiced coming to the ball, curling to it. It helped me get into a rhythm, so when I'm shooting, I'm already in position to shoot and make the shot."
Nolan (on the importance of the win): "Huge. We've been fighting and fighting and certainly our MAAC record is something you want to get up there. And this does that. And its the product of the hard work of these players."
Nolan (on catching the current #2 seed Loyola): "We'll you know, we beat them down there. They're on a roll right now, they've just won six straight. But, it's always a battle against them. But, we match up very well against them. It's a team that we need to beat right now to keep moving up the rankings."
Wrice (on her knee brace): "Well, I had been playing with [it], but I have been practicing without it and it's been getting stronger so I don't need it anymore."
