St. John’s Head Coach Joe Tartamella
Opening statement…
“Obviously, a difficult loss but I’m happy that we were able to get the game into overtime after we were in a difficult situation at the end of the fourth quarter. We need to continue to grow as a team and I was pleased with our fight. Now we have to get ready for next week.”
On Tiana England…
“I thought she played really well. She got some good buckets early and shot the ball well from the outside."
On final minute of regulation…
“We haven’t been in that situation before, where we had five fouls to give and to get into the bonus will help us down the road. We put [Mary] Gedaka to the line, she missed two free throws and that helped us get an opportunity to send the game to overtime.”
