QUOTED:
Yolisha Jackson, Head Coach:
  • "Super proud of our effort tonight as a team. I thought that we really competed. One of the things we wanted to do was make an imprint in the rebounding category, and I thought we definitely did that. I thought we were very, very prepared and executed well offensively. We just need to score a few more points and a few more baskets. I'm super proud of the way we competed, the hustle plays, the energy, the effort and the togetherness that we showed on the road in a quick turnaround. Now the challenge is to be just as prepared against Florida Atlantic and to come home with a win."
