They made it tough on Erika at times. But, she made it tough on herself, too. You think of all the pressure that's been on her. It affected her (Thursday). You saw a piece of a young lady who tried so hard and it didn't go her way. It was not one of her best nights.
They played very well, and they played extremely hard. But I thought they were in the (regional) tournament anyway. The conference championship - or the opportunity to play for it - would have been nice.
They have a very good basketball team. They gave us trouble defensively and offensively. But St. Cloud State has a pretty good basketball team, as well.
In the second half we played much better defense. We were able to get our transition game going. I thought that (UMD) played a great game, but we took advantage of them not having Dietz.
Erika still hasn't reached her potential. She keeps improving and gaining confidence every day. Her defense keeps getting better and better, and it seems like every year she adds a new move offensively. She's just a junior, but I'm getting a lot of calls about her already.
She's a shooter. It's been a great experience here for her to play with other scorers as well.
She's one of the most underrated players in the league. Even when she wasn't scoring in the first half, she was the source of most their points.
We didn't come out and play real well in the first half versus UNO. In the second half we dominated.
It's so nice to be able to stay another day.
This is an oncoming team. They're very capable of knocking some teams off in the tournament.
