Freshman Kristin Daugherty
"It's a great feeling, we worked so hard for the entire season, especially the senior class because they wanted this for so long"

"After the half, we had to come out intense and execute our stuff; we were getting our shots, just not knocking them down."

"I think teams are starting to reckon with us and we defiantly want to keep up our intensity and just keep winning."

Senior Karah Cloxton
"There a good team so we knew they would make a run, so we needed to keep our intensity up and our composure and believe we could pull it out."

"It's huge for the program, it allows us to believe in ourselves and to know we can play with anybody."

Senior Brittany Holterman
"We waited so many years I've been here and this was the first year where we went into it with a really good shot at beating them."

"Coach said at half we were playing awesome defense but we have to be more comfident on the offensive end."

"It's a lot easier to play defense on a 6'6" girl when your 5'11" when you know you have four people behind you."

Head Coach Jim Jabir
"This is a huge win. We know it's a rivalry geographically speaking but it hasn't been much on the court because we haven't competed in the past which just shows how far the program has come."

"I told our kids, their probably more talented but I thought we were a better team and play team ball."

"This is an important step because people judge you by who you beat and the number of wins you have. Right now we're at 20 wins for the first time in our history."

"We gave Fordham 20 offensive boards over the weekend and gave up less to a superior team. They have been killing teams on the offensive glass and our goal was 12 and gave up 14, we'll take it."
