I loved the shots that we took and I thought every one of them was going in. Our defensive game plan was excellent and we even took more shots from the field then Bates did. It was amazing how close it was to us winning by 15.

Their coach has done a great job recruiting. They have a lot of talent.

They're a very good team and they have a great inside game, force a lot of turnovers and are the only team with three senior starters this weekend.

They're very active offensively. They're a very equal-opportunity offense.

Coaches always love where their team is at after they win a big game on the road.

What could happen is us being a little more mature and playing with a little more poise. But the other thing that could happen is we'll not play as sharp and they'll be playing without fear. We know what we have to do. We're going to have to wait until the game starts to see what they bring.

We're the best team they've played. I think that's really the story ... how will they respond.

We planned on going inside no matter who was in the game, but once Coffin picked up her fourth foul, we took advantage.

We're not where we need to be in our team confidence. This was our second tough game of the year and we have lost them both (losing to top-ranked University of Southern Maine). Our foul shooting was terrible. We didn't do the little things to win, and I'm not sure that this team felt that they could go on a big run.

We were getting great shots. They just weren't falling. Our kids are just so confident. They kept saying, This is what we need to do. Just keep doing this and we will be fine.
