5 Quotes by Janice Richard

It definitely feels good to be able to come home and close out the WAC play. Nevada has been one of the hottest teams in the WAC lately ... and I just thought our ladies did a great job defensively.

Those are the types of efforts that get big wins, and tonight was a big win for us.

We knew it would be a defensive game tonight. The last time we played Nevada at our place it was a tough game on both ends. They were definitely the aggressor, they came out on a mission. They were determined to continue to play. Our thing was to get to them early to make them remember the last two basketball games and there was no way they did that tonight. They were focused, they were on a mission. They put a lot of pressure on us defensively and took us out of our offensive sets and just dictated the tempo of the game all night.

For a long time, I just wanted us to focus on getting better and I thought it would come together by the time we got to the WAC season.

They went on a big run, and we just couldn't recover. I thought we played panicky after that.
