On the game
"This was a great team win; everyone brought something to the table. Erin Williams came off the bench and was huge on defense pulling down nine rebounds and giving us 11 points. Her toughness is what we needed; it became contagious. Jalisha Mann played solid for us tonight and handled the point guard role for us tonight. Tyashia Bostick played a great offensive game with 40 points and shooting 50 percent from the field. I hope this game will give us some momentum going forward."
