Maura McHugh Quotations

I thought our defense did much better this time. We didn't allow them to get as many open shots.

We needed a backup point guard and we liked what we saw so we recruited her.

We didn't shoot the ball well, so it's amazing we were in the game with them.

We thought the game was over when it really wasn't. With seven minutes to go, you still got to play ball.

We executed better in the second half, and that's what we spent halftime talking about.

We really played in spurts. But we have a tendency, it's almost like they lose interest when we get a big lead.

It's really hard to guard her one-on-one, so we got help from other people. It was pretty much a team effort as far as the post defense went.

This game is a breakthrough for us. We have had big leads and let them get away. We need that killer instinct. We're a work in progress, but we're getting better.

They were ready for the game. That's what the playoffs are about. You've got to be ready; we came out flat. You can't afford to do that.

They're huge. They outweigh us by a lot. They're big, they're strong and they rebound the ball extremely well.
