Postgame Quotes

UTA coach Krista Gerlich
On her team's performance
"I liked our intensity that we came out with and the attack. From the tip we were ready to play and got after it. We missed a few early ones but kept after it and rebounded the ball really well. I liked that we spread the ball around and caused several turnovers and got to the bucket to finish."

On the team spreading the points around the stat sheet
"We are very balanced like that. Whenever we do that we are really hard to guard because you can't guard everyone."

On hitting a season-best percentage in free throws
"It was nice to do it and it was good to do it on the road because you have to make them on the road. There were a lot of distractions in this game and our girls did a good job to maintain focus."

On the team's focus coming out in the second half to not let up
"Our kids know just from past experiences that the first three minutes are really important. They know that it is a tale of two halves and they were already focused on coming out and having a good second half."
