Jen Milne Quotations

The rebounding seemed like it was a lot closer than I thought it was going to be, because it seemed like they were getting a lot more rebounds than us. With the size that we have, usually 50 percent of the time we'll have an opportunity to get a second shot off, but they took that away.

That class has been significant for us. They were undefeated when they were in junior high, so they came in with a lot of lofty goals. This experience is huge for them and it's giving them a taste of what they can do over the next two years.

I think the way the season is going, I'm not sure if it would be poetic justice because, back then, you'd win one and be in the semis. It would be great to win no matter who it was. It's just ironic that it is Monessen.

We know no one has expected us to do what we've done. We know we're the underdogs. But I think that's why we've been playing so well. There is no pressure on our team. They're just going out and having fun and enjoying themselves.

We lose two seniors who were tremendous in their roles. We'll miss them, but we had a lot of young people playing in the playoffs and we'll learn from this.

I think she's a little more relaxed and she goes in with the attitude to just play. Last season (in the playoffs), she would get frustrated, and this year, she's more relaxed.

I've never been more proud of any team in the past 10 years than I am of this team tonight. When we got behind, they could have given up, but they didn't. They kept playing hard. It was a team effort that brought us back tonight. It was everybody.

It's bittersweet. We've never come this far before, so we're happy with our accomplishments. But when you get this far, and you get a little taste, you always want a little more.

It was my fault Kate went in during the second quarter. I saw our lead going and it scared me a little bit. I take the blame for that. I should have never put her in.

I've told the players since the start of the playoffs that they have earned the right to be here. They've responded. Everyone has stepped up and is doing what it takes.
