That's the great thing about the women's game. The players are very approachable. They haven't been tainted by stardom. They just come to play.

That's the great thing about our team. We have tremendous depth. It depends on the day who is playing well for us.

It was a great team effort. That's what I told the team in the locker room -- five players in double figures, and everybody who came off the bench contributed in some way, shape or form. I think this was just a tremendous team effort on our part.

It was one of the best defenses we've seen.

It wasn't just one person, it was everybody. Turning the ball over 31 times - I don't think I've ever seen that from this team. So I'm a little disappointed with that.
