14 Quotes by Stacey Reed

Sam is our defensive stopper, and fans may not see all the little things she does to help the team succeed. She hustles all the time and she knocks away or deflects so many passes that end up steals for her teammates. She's the epitome of a team player, always does her role and hits the open shot when it's there.

That's a credit to these girls that so many things didn't go their way, yet they kept battling and had opportunities to win. We played hard, just not well.

Their kids play extremely hard all the time and I'm sure they'll increase their intensity at tournament time. We'll have a size advantage on them in the post and we want to make full use of that.

The great thing about having a game like this is being able to try different things. We worked on our full-court pressure, both man and trapping. We also tried some of the things we haven't used too much this season just to take a look at them.

The girls were excited but not satisfied. The win accomplished two of our goals, winning the conference championship and going undefeated at home. We cut down the nets and celebrated some, but it wasn't wild. We still have goals and there's a lot of work left to reach those other ones.
