Player Quotes
Nicole Michael, So., F
On getting into foul trouble early:
“I was just playing hard and trying to get stops, but unfortunately they were fouls. So, I just need to play smarter when it comes to that.”
On playing well in the first half:
“Just my intensity and my momentum at the time just wanted it more. We started the game and we were down and I thought to myself we shouldn’t be down, and I just tried to keep playing and get my team up and that’s what we did.”
On teams coming in playing them with intensity:
“I felt it (Siena’s intensity). It’s anybody’s game these days, whoever comes out the hardest and wants it more at the end, that’s who wins.”
On watching from the bench:
“It was tough to watch it. I was saying, ‘Coach put me back in, I got one more foul. Give me one more chance.’ I mean it was hard to watch, but I know my team and we don’t give up. Especially the game against Princeton, we won by two. We didn’t give up that game. We’re not quitters. We’re going to keep working hard to get what we want.
Chandrea Jones, Jr., F
On starting out with a 15-point lead that goes down to six:
“Thinking we can’t let this bring us down. We have to keep playing our game. We just have to stick together.”
On their response to the six point lead:
“It says that we are not quitters and that we are never going to give up. It was tough, but we did it. It showed a lot tonight.”
On one more game before BIG EAST play:
“Our goal was to be 13-0, but we’ve got one more before the BIG EAST and we just have to keep playing hard. We just have to get it.”
