"We showed tonight our determination. We didn't have our best offensive game, but defensively we were at our best for all four quarters. We knew that ALC would come in tonight and play us tough, so from the outset we had to be prepared on the defensive side of the ball. We are one of the best conditioned teams in America both mentally and physically, so teams have to be able to withstand that pressure for a full 40 minutes and that's a tough task."
Chad Mayes | Head Women's Basketball Coach
