Courtney Vandersloot Quotations

She has a great ability to block your shot. You just have to try to get her up in the air and adjust your shot around her.

(But) this gives us our first view of what teams are like at state.

Our freshmen are really stepping up. They've been helping us and carrying us lately.

I was nervous coming in. But once you get on that court, its such an amazing experience. I just felt right out there. I really wanted to go in there and compete and show that we should be there.

When my shot isn't dropping, I've got to go to other players who can score. We have a lot players who can put the ball in the basket.

Every game, we try to faze (opponents) with our pressure. We want them to be scared to get the ball in bounds.

Every game we come out with pressure. We want them to be scared to get the ball in.

It was tough going in there (under the basket). The first thing you think about is the 10 she's already blocked. I just had to try to make her move and adjust my shot.

It was definitely frustrating sitting on the bench in the first quarter. I had faith in my teammates, and then when I got out there, I just tried to get to the basket.

It's super important to come and get on teams early. We like to find weaknesses and then take advantage.

It's going to be a battle. We need to forget about our last win against them. Both teams are coming out with clean slates now. Anything can happen. We just have to play hard.

It's my role as a leader to step up and get the job done. We have a really young basketball team, and I provided a leadership role.

It's unbelievable. That was our goal from the start and we came out and accomplished it. I think our pressure just wore on them.

That's the biggest team I've ever played against.

It seemed like our shots weren't dropping for us like they were the first half, and it seemed like everything was going in for them. The momentum was shifted towards them and it was tough for us to get it back, but we did what we needed to do, I guess.

I just have to forget about the previous play and let it go. Calls are going to be made that I don't agree with, but that can't stop me from playing my game.
