PSU Quotes
Kelly Graves, Head Coach
Overall thoughts one the game…
“It was a fun game, those kind of games are sometimes hard to play in, but I thought for the most part we stayed under control. Defensively, we played better in the second half. I give Portland State a lot of credit…. In the end we just had too many really good players. It was also nice to see a lot of people step up and have career nights.
On Maite Cazorla…
She was terrific tonight. Her vision is amazing, again no turnovers. In a game like that where she is playing with a bunch of different players sometimes there is just miscommunication. She didn’t have any issues like that tonight. But yeah I’m positive she is capable of having a triple-double one if these nights.
Jillian Alleyne – Forward, Senior
On being 10-0...
"Perfect, 10-0 is perfect. We have played some good teams this season, giving them their credit, and we have worked on ourselves offensively and defensively and it is really showing. 10-0 is a thing to be proud of, but we still have to work.
On Maite's performance...
"Maite is on a level of her own. Maite is hands down the best point guard I have played with. She sees the floor like no one else and I think that credits to her being from Spain and being on her international team. She understands the game differently than I think we do in America and that's why she sees the floor at like x-ray vision. Coach always says she knows you are open before you know you are open and I saw that a lot tonight and I see it every night. Honestly it is indescribable because she shows up every game, and I know it is not easy being so far from home and the language barrier sometimes but she has handled it so well. She is very mature for her age and I am excited for this whole year with her."
Kat Cooper – Guard, Senior
On the team...
"It has been amazing. We have a lot of people that con contribute on and off the floor. We look to our bench for energy, especially games like this we need to be hyped, and we need to stay focused."
On her three...
"I am pretty confident. As a shooter you have to have a short memory, so I know that I am good at it so I am just going to keep shooting even if I miss."
