Postgame Quotes vs. Mercer
Jan. 30 – McKenzie Arena
 
Head Coach Deandra Schirmer
Opening Statement:
"We obviously had a very good offensive output in that second quarter, but it was fueled off of our steals and defense. We can make sure we're doing the little things, whether that's a box out, being in a gap or getting a seal. That's going to fuel us to everything else in the game, and so just really proud of our group for honing in and getting the win tonight."
 
On Early Struggles:
"I think a lot of credit goes to the Mercer staff and team. I thought they came in here, ready to go. They had a great game plan, and you know, started off in the first quarter and hit us in the mouth. We know they're a very talented team, and I think that we responded accordingly that our defense picked up our rebounding, picked up, and then all of that fuels our offense."
 
Caia Elisaldez, Jr.-G
On Adjusting to the Physicality:
"We knew that they were going to be physical. I'll give them credit when it started. I was, like, oh wow, okay. After the first quarter, I think we were able to hone in on what was happening on what we needed to do to fix it. I think we just knew we had to match it, and we just had to keep playing the way that they kept playing through it."
 
Izzy McPherson, R-Fr.-G/F
On growing confidence in her shooting during a good run of form:
"I'm a lot more confident now (than at the start of the year). I think it just goes back to my teammates still having the confidence in me, and my coaches still having confidence in me. And then that leads me to know that I can still be confident. I can take this shot and it's a good shot for us. So it feels really good."
