Postgame Quotes
Appalachian State at Chattanooga
Chattanooga, Tenn. - McKenzie Arena
Feb. 14, 2011
On the game:
"It was a tough loss. Defensively we fought and battled hard. Again rebounding is an area that is haunting us. That was the difference in the game, the last offensive rebound. They were able to score off of it. It was a tough loss, and we just didn't get it done. We need to go back to the drawing board and keep working and trying to close the gap.""
On Appalachian State's last possession:
We forced them to take an off balance shot and we didn't get the box out. I know there was some confusion with her coming off the pick."
On tough conference games:
"I think all of our conference games are intense because everybody is up for us, and wants to knock us off. I don't think this team understands that we are going to get every team's best."
On Appalachian State's play:
"Appalachian State is doing great job with their press and half court defense. They are playing a lot of zones and getting into the passing lanes. It gets you out of what you expect to do."
On result of the game:
"I don't think we are looking at moral victories. I think we were at least trying to send a message and a confidence booster for our kids."
On free throw shooting:
"I can't explain it. We have a team that shoots the ball fairly well. Then we got out there and shoot 7-13, and they shoot 9-12. If you hit your free throws you have a good chance of winning the game."
On senior Bailey Dewart:
"I should have put her back in, not just because of Senior Night. She hit some threes early. She does a great job on the offensive boards, and I probably should have gotten her back out there. Looking back, I should have made a point to do that."
Sophomore Kylie Lambert
On final minutes of the game:
"We had many chances, but we just couldn't get it together. We were scattered, but that is what practice is for, to get better."
On what team needs to work on:
"We can work on boxing out, for me personally."
On the team's improvement over the season:
"I think our defense has really come together as a team. We are helping a lot more and working together."
On regular season championship streak ending:
"It hurts, especially to know that we are the team that ended it."
On the future:
"We can start a new streak next year, and build from there."
Freshman Taylor Hall
On improved play past few games:
"I think I have just gotten more comfortable with the program. Everybody has been helping me out and learning what to do."
