I am proud of my team. We played hard. For a young team in their first championship game, we stayed poised and didn't get rattled. It was a great tournament experience.

Danielle and Brittany stepped up today and decided that we were not going home. I told the squad after the game that when Upstate made their second-half run, we showed a maturity that we did not have last season. We had the poise to hold things together, and then Katherine hit those two huge threes.

We only have eight players right now. Renee and Katie put up huge numbers for us today.

We had too many turnovers at the end. But hopefully we will learn from this and move on.

That was huge. That put the nail in the coffin right there.

She has been the most consistent player we have and a great team player for four years. She has worked harder and harder each year she has been here.

She was their one shooter and we knew that, but just didn't do a good job of keeping an eye on her and defending the screen. I finally put our two best defenders on her in the second half, and they held her to just one the rest of the way.
