She's always been from the time we recruited her one of the most mature, responsible people that I've ever had the privilege to be around.
battling dangerous fighting fights-and-fighting knew team tradition
I knew they were going to come out fighting and battling and they did. When you've got a team with such tradition and at home, it's a very dangerous combination.

We just lost to two great teams ... but I think people are looking at our record thinking we're on a downslide. Because Maryland is such a great team, I don't think it should affect our seeding.
