I knew it was going to be an extremely difficult day for me today. This team is extremely satisfied with the way they played today and for myself, it's that much of a better moment, for sure.

I instantly recognized the date of the medals game. It was incentive to me. It was a dream of hers to get to the Olympics as much as it was a dream of mine.

It was a dream of hers, just like it was a dream of mine, for me to make the Olympics and potentially medal. I carry a picture of her all the time. She'll be on the medal stand with me, if we get up there.

They are going to want to beat us as much as we want to beat them. If we go out and play a good game together, we can win.

I've gone through such a range of emotions in the last 45 minutes, it's definitely hard to even explain what I've gone through. Saturday will be the big day when it really hits for me, when I'm up on the podium getting the medals. It's any athlete's dream to make the Olympic team. It's only that much better to say that you came out with a medal.

Everybody was not expecting us to do well here.

Everybody was not expecting us to do well here. But we were pretty confident coming in that we could be contenders. We were definitely OK with coming in here and not being the No. 1 favorites.

It's satisfying to end on a good note, and having a medal is even better.

It's any athlete's dream to say they can make the Olympic team. And it's only that much better than you can say you came out of here with a medal.

It's a tough, tough time. It was my goal, and her dream, so I wanted to come out and do it.
