Head Coach Kim Barnes Arico
On team's play this weekend
"I thought we made great strides this weekend on the defensive end. That's something we continually work on in practice and we've really made it a focus. I thought the ladies stepped up this weekend and did a tremendous job."
On tournament MVP Joy McCorvey
"I just think she's relentless. She sets a goal for herself and she goes after that goal. She just wants to improve everyday and she challenges herself, she challenges her teammates and she's a tremendous leader."
On team's play so far this season
"I thought this was a great test for us going into the break and going into the BIG EAST season. Of course, the only thing we'd want different is to be 12-0. But, yeah, we're really pleased where we are."
Senior Forward Joy McCorvey
On her performance against Virginia Tech
"We just played hard and we did the little things and it paid off. Like we said in the beginning of the year, we know we have a good team. We have good team chemistry. We have all the little pieces that it takes to be successful. Every day we're getting better, in practice and in games."
On earning tournament MVP
"It's special but I couldn't have done it without my team. It takes teamwork. It takes everyone hustling, everyone communicating. So it's my award, but it's for my team."
