Opening Statement:
"I think its obvious that they are a very good basketball team, very powerful and very strong. We did everything that we could to keep them off the boards, yet the had 11 offensive rebounds in the first half. We had a really hard time handling them in the point."
"It was very difficult because they very strong and extremely athletic, they kept coming and are very well coached. I think Marcedes Walker is one of the best post players we will play against all year long. We missed enough free throws to have won the basketball game."
"We got out-rebounded very badly and I think that was the difference in the game"
On playing from behind:
"We were always behind in the second half, they came out on fire against our man in the second half, they hit five-straight field goals against us, so we had to change our defense, but to our players credit, they did not get down or raise a white flag, they kept fighting all game long."
"I thought we were just one break away, we needed to make a play defensively. Everytime I thought we did that, it didn't go in our direction."
Alyssa Hammond on Marcedes Walker
"45 was a really big post player, from the looks of me it didn't look like I could do much, but I was trying as hard as I could. I was putting all of my weight into it."
"I was trying to use my quickness over her slowness, trying to make some moves because I knew I was not going to overpower her."
