“The states is a different tournament, and we have to enjoy this (through the weekend and) maybe Monday, but we'll get back to our focus on the next step. This is great, and this is fantastic for these girls, and it's a memory they'll have their whole lives, and then you look at the states, and you look at that as a whole other tournament where you're going against the best teams from across the state of Pennsylvania.”
“I thought we came out and attacked offensively and really did a lot of things that we talked about doing. I think we got a better feel for what they were doing and what we needed to do in the second quarter and, I think, once we had a 12-point lead, we could play a game that was a little more our style.”
“Maybe that was my fault, in making the girls think too much about what we were going to do. Instead of trying to play the way we played all year, maybe I put too many ideas in their minds, and we weren't able to stop them.”
“No matter how far you go in anything, you have to take that first step and, sometimes, that first step can be a big one. They hadn't played for two weeks, but there's no monkey on their back ... and they came in really relaxed.”
“People always ask me what the difference is between last year's club and this year's and this year's we have other people that can step up. We are a little more patient on offense and we can get other people the ball a little bit better.”
“I thought they shot the ball unbelievably in the first half. They got the shots they wanted to and really did an excellent job of attacking the basket.”
“I think our patience has been the big key for us this year. Compared to last year and some other years, our patience has really, really impressed me this season. We're willing to move the ball around and wait for that good shot.”
“Ashley and Maggie (Gibson) get a lot of the ink and the publicity, but there are other people that have performed well in the playoffs and all season for us. You're not going to win in the tournament with two or three good players. You need to have more players and you need to have a bench if you want to advance.”
“Last year it was a great battle and it was a close game between two solid teams. Hopefully, what we learned from that game last year, we tried to incorporate all season.”
“They're one and we're two, but we're never worried about papers and rankings and that kind of stuff. The more important thing is that those are just people's opinions, noted people, but we just want to go out there and play.”
