Postgame Quotes: Oregon vs. Seattle U
“Good win, I was pleased with how we came out and started the game. We hadn’t had a good start like that since Portland. It was nice to see us right from the get-go, take it to them defensively."
On the size advantage…
“We always try to exploit Jill inside because she is so talented. I thought they (Seattle U) did a good job on her tonight. They played behind her, didn’t send a double team, and they were pretty effective. But that’s always our game plan, we always want to attack inside-out."
On the upcoming Pac-12 season…
“I’ve been coaching in the Northwest so long, I have played basically everybody in the league, I know the conference. I am just looking forward to the nightly challenge…Every night we are going to have to bring it and play really well to have a chance, and I am looking forward to that challenge as a coach.”
Amanda Delgado - Guard
On the defensive performance…
“I think we stepped it up, it’s a good segway going into the Pac-12. Like coach said, it’s a good platform to jump right into it.”
On holding Seattle U to 22 percent shooting…
"With their (Megan and Jill’s) big presence and length on the inside, it was just a field day for our bigs in there. It was block after block and it made our lives easier too, so knowing that we have them back there, it steps everything else up to another level for us.”
Katelyn Loper, Guard
On the new lineup and the size advantage…
“I think it worked amazing, because just having Jill and Megan alone with their wingspan and their arms up like that, makes it hard for teams. Going into this game we were going to try to experiment with length, and I think it worked really well.”
Where to go from here with Pac-12 play on the horizon…
“I think it was good for us to play a complete game, work hard defensively and to maintain our lead and build on it. So, this is the biggest test for us now coming into Pac-12 play, because now everything really matters, so this game was good for us.”
