Head Coach Kristy Curry Comments
"I'm just proud of our balanced effort today. I have a lot of players who stepped up as we had a little adversity with Essence [Cody] and Alancia [Ramsey] being out. I was just pleased with our response to the controllable and I'm really proud of Naomi [Jones]. I see it every day in practice, so I'm not surprised. I thought she really stepped up and gave us a calmness and a poise. I also thought our back court did a really good job. We [had] a couple here with four assists, one turnover between Diana [Collins] and Karly [Weathers]. I thought we just did a really nice job of handling their pressure."
