Postgame Quotes 

Head Coach Katie Burrows:

Shooting struggles

"At halftime we missed seven layups or short shots and we didn't hit our free throws. We had 13 offensive boards, they had four. We said we have to box out to give ourselves a chance and we did. We took decent care of the ball. We couldn't knock down shots or hit free throws when they counted. There were a lot of things we did really well today when you look at the stat sheet."

On the athleticism and quickness of Mercer.

"We weren't doing a good job in the first half forcing them off of screens. They love to go baseline and get a pull up jumper. We were letting them get loose. We made that switch in the second half and that affected them. If we do that consistently for 40 minutes, it's a different outcome."

On the play by Karsen Murphy.

"We made some adjustments with her defensively when she needed to play the five. She has great athleticism. We adjusted to what she needed to do when she plays in the paint and she did a great job. Leah (Jones) however, is more brute strength so we made that adjustment and Mercer couldn't get comfortable in there. Ultimately, Karsen put up some points so we left her in there much longer. She gave us some really quality minutes. She played with a lot of confidence today and I was proud to see that."
