Emily Cady, Sr., Forward
On breaking down Minnesota's defense
"We just need to work the ball. We call the inside the pulley so we just need to move the ball in and out to get our shots. I think we did a really good job moving the ball through the pulley, and I think that's how we got open shots."

On preparing to face Minnesota
"We worked really hard on getting the middle of the lane open so that's how we got a lot of our shots."

On Minnesota's effort in the second half
"I was just playing basketball. But I thought they fought hard and gave pretty good effort. We were just hitting shots and had the momentum." 

On using this win as momentum
"It felt really good. We definitely needed this one after a couple losses under our belt. We needed a win. We were not shooting so well in the last couple of games so it was nice to have that rhythm back."

On mentally preparing for senior night
"I try to play every game with the same mentality. I try to not think about whether this is my last game or not. I just go out and play."

On building team chemistry without Rachel Theriot 
"It's definitely hard playing without her (Theriot) but we just get on the court every day for practice and learn how each other plays without her. I think our chemistry's pretty good right now."

Natalie Romeo, Fr., Guard
On stepping up as a leader
"It's definitely hard but I'm trying. I usually get help from my teammates. They help me out a lot. I try to repeat what they say, just louder."
