Senior Guard Jami Montagnino
"One of the things we've been working for has been to put our destiny in our own hands. We're glad that the C-USA regular season championship is within our grasp and we can win it if we don't let up or lose our focus."
Head Coach Lisa Stockton
"It was a hard fought game. A little bit into the second half our defense really took over, limited their opportunities and that was huge. I think our kids did a nice job of playing the scouts. You had Ashley [Langford] and D'Aundra [Henry] guarding Carmen Guzman at times. Because she plays 40 minutes, I thought if we could rest our guards early, then we'd be right there at the end. I felt like in the last 10 minutes, we had the energy and they didn't."
"The thing I'm the most proud of with this team is that everyone is stepping up. Dominique [Philpots] had 13 points and I thought some of those shots were huge. Ashley's shots at the end were big and those kind of sealed it. It was a great team effort. I'm so proud of these kids. They've worked so hard."
"Ashley has such great vision. One thing she doesn't get a lot of credit for is passing to get open shots. She puts that pass on the money so they can score with it. A lot of people can pass, but maybe not pass for a shot. Ashley really passes for a shot and really runs the show."
"At the end, we really wanted to use the clock yet still be aggressive. And that's difficult to do. I thought we did that and really got good shots at the end of the shot clock."
On UAB shooting 19 percent in the second half
"I'm attributing that to our players taking things away from them. What we did to [Diamond] Rogers tonight - she really didn't get a lot of looks from three-point range, just one off our press."
