All three of their contributions have been very, very valuable to this team. All of them have tremendous instincts.

The difference in the game was our tenacity on the boards. Amber Gottfried did a superb job.

These girls have shown tenacity and a competitive spirit all season. They're completely unselfish.

These girls know how devoted I am to them and that I will with my dying breath do whatever it takes for them to be successful on and off the court. They see how committed to excellence I am and how hard I work. I love my girls and I love my team.

I really say a prayer of thanks and that she was able to go.

I remember the lead disappearing just like that. It was a whole spectrum of emotions and an overwhelming relief and joy at the end. I remember frustration and anger that we allowed the lead to be extinguished. It shouldn't have come down to that.

I have not lowered my expectations. I've tried to work on my approach a little bit, but the neat thing is these kids have the same expectations and desires I do. They want to be successful, and they want to be champions. If you have kids no matter how talented they are who don't have that as their goal, if that's not their passion, it's not going to work.

Oh, my goodness, you talk about big hearts. These kids showed a lot of moxie. These kids can't be stopped.

It's all heart and desire. These kids can't be stopped.

It's every bit as sweet as the first time. I'm just rejoicing. I feel very blessed to be here.
