On her approach to tomorrow’s game…
“It’s been a great season. We had a great game yesterday, but we’re not through. We’re ready to go out tomorrow and give it our all. Keisha [McClinic], JJ [Jennifer Justice] and Yamil [Cordero] don’t have any more turns and we want to fight for them.”

On the community’s response to yesterday’s win…
“People are really excited back home. I talked to quite a few people who call me and said, ‘I watched on TV, and you were great!’ My mom was telling me, ‘You are all getting big-time now. You’re all little celebrities running around.'”
