The league this year is as deep and talented as it's ever been and there are several teams that are capable of winning the tournament.

Heather is very athletic and has good size for a perimeter player.

I just told them we need them in the game and to keep themselves in the game. They both showed a lot of composure and just went straight up on defense.

They (Cumberland) really controlled the tempo on us. We didn't get a lot of offensive possessions. They were patient on offense and we didn't play well. We missed a lot of easy shots. We turned the ball over too much. We were only 8-for-16 from the free throw line. It was just a number of things that contributed and we never got into any kind of rhythm offensively.

Another tremendous season. The credit all goes to the kids. They worked hard everyday and when you win your regular season and conference, 29 games and make the top 16 you have to be proud of what you accomplished.

This was really unfortunate because we are having a good time here but we would have really like to play better. We'll get another opportunity (Friday) against another good team from that conference.

We had a good start. We led the entire game. Carroll had some good runs, but we were able to hold them off.

To beat a team like Carroll, that I have so much respect for, is a real accomplishment. They have a lot of talent and Shawn (Nelson) does a great job with his team.

We didn't shoot well from the three-point line.

We've got a lot of very talented players on this team and they play well together. They're extremely competitive and know what it takes to be successful.
