Ashley McFarland Quotations

I was relaxed coming in and didn't feel any extra pressure. I don't feel any pressure with this team because Sheila (Adams) and Amber (Strong) have stepped up.

I was nervous my freshman and sophomore years, and my teammates were a little bit nervous today. Things will be smoother Thursday.

We just came in ready to play. We didn't want to lose again. We knew that we had to come out and play well. My teammates did a good job of helping get me open. I really thought that Sara Sorensen did a great job of making some big plays for us tonight.

We could have done better than we did. I don't think any of us were nervous. Hunter is better this year. (Alex) Dunn is fast, and they are aggressive underneath (the basket).

Brighton is a good team; I don't have anything against them. I'm so proud to have been a part of this team this year.

It's always such a good game. It was so much fun. I love these kinds of games. We don't care about the streak. A lot of people don't think we can do it, but we have a whole team that knows we can.

It stopped them from driving. We had played a mixture of man-to-man and zone, but that wasn't working very well. I don't care who we play Thursday. I'm just glad we're there.

The game plan was to keep Dunn from driving; she beat us off the dribble. I'm a little disappointed we didn't put Hunter away early. I wasn't looking past them at all.
