Head coach Carrie Daniels Quotes:

"We knew what it was coming into the game. Vandy is a tremendous team, very disciplined, very balanced, and we knew transition defense was going to be a key for us coming into the ballgame. But with that transition defense, with us knowing that they like to run the ball, they also have tremendous shooters. You have to get back on defense and you have to get out and be able to contest the shooter."

"I don't think we were ready out of the gate. We weren't ready to play right from the tip. They get the ball and score on us. We weren't down in a stance for forty minutes. I think that when we got shots we got some open looks, but from those open looks, we were worried about the defense. It wasn't us focusing on the basket and the shot. We were worried about Vanderbilt."

"I was very pleased. Leslie came in and really gave us a spark in the first half. For her to come in and get a double-double on the offensive glass, to get the second-chance look - it was tremendous for her. Shyra Brown, as well, did a good job for us to go up against the big girls in the post. Obviously, there were times that they got their position down low, but she did a good job of getting around, getting her hand on some passes, knocking it loose. (Shyra and Leslie) gave us great energy."
