QUEENS, N.Y. -
Head Coach Kim Barnes Arico
Opening Statement:
"It was a tough game. We let them get too far ahead and had to battle back. They are a tough team to come back against. We need to keep getting better every day. The season is not over."
On Villanova:
"We prepared for that flare-screen for two days but they are a good team. Their strength is that they find your weaknesses and mismatches then exploit them. They've done that for the past couple years. Their posts are 6-2 but they play like guards.
On the team's next game:
"Louisville is physical and they can shoot the ball. They'll shoot if there are 30 seconds on the shot clock. This league is incredible and hard. Every game is going to be a tough match-up. We have been in most of our games, but pulling a win out comes with experience.
Senior Guard Kia Wright
On the last play of the game:
"I thought about the Georgetown game when we tried to run a similar play and I tried to turn the corner. I tried to execute what coach wanted and get the shot.
Sophomore Forward Joy McCorvey
On playing against Villanova's post players:
"It was challenging. We had to be quick on defense and get out on them when they tried to shoot."
