• Said Head Coach Carter Shaw: "I was really pleased with this game tonight; it was a team win in every respect. Meghan Foley led us again in scoring and Sarah Gibbs controlled the glass but we had unique contributions from every player. The twenty-one assists on thirty-one baskets speaks to that, which allowed all five starters to reach double figures, and there were two more right on the cusp of that mark. We also did a really nice job rebounding at both ends of the court and I was particularly pleased that Sarah Gibbs and Jess Wall combined for ten offensive rebounds. I was happy with our defensive effort and the fact we out-scored Curry in all four quarters. There are still some areas I'd like to see continued growth, but as a whole, this game exemplifies many of the characteristics we aspire to play like as a team."
