Head Coach Paul Westhead
On their opening game:
“Usually the first game shows things we need to work on. It reveals to the players what more we need to do.”
“We showed at times some nice streaks.”
“At the 9:00 mark, we pressed 11 straight times and got 9 turn overs. I was very pleased with our free throw shooting in the 1st half with 18 -19.”
On #1 Taylor Lilley:
“Our goal is to keep that player shooting. It will not be easy because teams will try and shut her down.”
“She can really stroke the ball.”
On zone defense:
“Yesterday in practice we spent a good 20 plus minutes on the zone. The zone really helped us; it seemed to fluster them.”
“We play zone like we are ready to go.”
On #54 Nicole Canepa:
“We got a nice pickup from Nicole. If they were ever going to make a run, she put a stop to it.”
#54 Nicole Canepa
On first game performance:
“I felt really good in the post tonight.”
“We are aware of getting our fitness up, so that they break down sooner.”
On zone:
“We were not doing well on the match up, and it is going to be handy to switch up the defense.”
On margin of victory:
“We have not had that feeling in a while. We did not do our best out there, we know that. Tonight was ok, but we can do much better. We had a fun time.”
