Tom Marryott Quotations

We failed to match American's intensity as the game went on.

Senior days are different. You never know what's going to happen because it's such an emotional day. It was good to see all three of them play well.

This was a good game for some individuals and a good game for the team. There was a good feeling in the locker room afterward because we came back. It was good to see us step up and stem the tide.

Kate made some tough baskets. I'm happy she's getting to the line because that shows she's taking the ball strong to the basket. I also thought she was very aggressive on the glass.

Lafayette gave us fits in the first half. They can really score some points. I was happy with how we played in the zone. We were smart and were able to contest the people we were supposed to contest. We stopped the bleeding.

Lauren takes her academics very seriously. She works hard in the classroom, and that's been reflected in her grade point average.

We really struggled at the start of the game on the offensive end. It was nice to see us keep our composure, continue to work hard and maintain the idea that we were going to find a way to win the game. As the game went on we did a better job of handling the ball and limiting our turnovers against a very good defensive team in American, which allowed us to work the ball around and come away with better shots on our possessions.

There have been a number of games in which we got ourselves behind. That's a bad habit to get.

Army's perimeter players did such a good job of taking us off the dribble and penetrating that we needed help from the post and we didn't do a good job of rotating. That gave them a lot of easy baskets.

Every time we got something going they would make a big play. You can't come out against a good team and dig yourself into a hole from the get-go. We were playing from behind for the entire game.

Our effort was there. I don't question our effort. What I do question is our decision making. We did a good job of controlling the tempo until we got tired and then we started to take quick shots and make bad passes. Kate Hobbs getting in foul trouble also really hurt. We missed her against the press.

Colgate has shot the ball really well at times this season. Thankfully, they haven't shot the lights out against us, but their tendency to get hot worries me.

All players go through lulls and the real testament is what you do about it. Carly asked for extra workouts and has done more in the last two weeks than anyone.

It is unique, but I don't think it's a big deal. For scouting purposes, it makes things a lot easier. Colgate is fresh on our minds.

It's like I told the team, it's OK to win a game like that sometimes. We won this game with defense. Our defense was pretty doggone good.

I'm very proud of finishing in the top half of the league. I'm happy for the ladies, particularly the seniors. They've worked very hard.

I don't think there is any one dominant team, no school has really separated itself from the pack. There have been a bunch of very competitive basketball games and every team has shown it is capable.

I don't like playing against her. She has really caused us problems. She makes big plays. ... She did it to us last year as a freshman and she did it again to us this year.

All in all, I thought we played very well today. We had some big performances from a lot of people, we had good balance.
