Head Coach Kim Barnes Arico
Opening Statement:
"I thought this was a great opportunity tonight for our team to have some of our younger kids to step in and play some minutes they haven't been able to do. I thought Sky, Joy and Kelly stepped up and had great nights for us."
On Sky Lindsay and Joy McCorvey:
"I think they both did a great job. Kelly had been in a funk lately and I tried something different with her coming off the bench and she stepped up to the challenge as Sky did. I think they both played great games."
On receiving votes in the polls:
"We need to get better. We have some potential. Our freshmen are really talented along with our returning players. There are a lot of things we don't really do well at this point. So receiving votes doesn't mean much to us. We just have to keep improving everyday."
Senior Guard Kelly McManmon
On coming off the bench:
"I felt relaxed and was able to knock down some shots. Today gave me more confidence. I feel back in rhythm and our team is playing well. If coming off the bench is good for our team, then it's good for me."
Junior Guard Sky Lindsay
On playing alongside Nadirah:
"It's exciting playing with Nadirah. She's a fast pace point guard. If you're open she's going to find you. It makes playing the game a lot easier and more relaxing."
Senior Forward Joy McCorvey
On difference between first half and second half:
"We picked it up as a team in the second half. Everyone brought more energy, we worked hard, played as a family, the shots were coming and everyone's confidence was up. "
