Megan Vrabel Quotations

We accepted coach Dixon so quickly. The team is so close. We've trusted coach Dixon.

Maggie didn't let us lose that many times but when we did, she told us to keep our heads up and to learn from the loss. Maggie, we'll learn from this and we will keep our heads up. We've learned from you how to be a loving daughter, a great sister, an aunt, a mentor and a best friend.

We've done so much this year already that why stop now? We actually got a gift from our administration and on the back of our shirt it says,'We're not finished yet.' (Even though) we are so excited to be here and at the NCAA tournament, you're not just satisfied with making the trip and staying at a nice hotel. You're down here for one reason and that's to win basketball games.

We are so excited to be here and so excited to be in the NCAA tournament, but you're not just satisfied with going and making the trip and staying in a nice hotel. You're down here for one reason and that's to win basketball games.

Each year, I think we've gotten better, we've gotten stronger recruits. With Coach Dixon coming in this year I think she just brought a new energy to our program, new ideas. Just a refreshing way of coaching. I think that we all responded very well to that.

Coach Dixon always asked us how we would react to adversity. Now, we are facing adversity like never before, but we are going to keep her fire ignited. We are fighters to the end just like coach Dixon.

They are lucky to be as tall as they are, and I am a little bit envious of them. It's tiring playing against those girls.

The joke in practice right now is if you have to switch on a screen, go ahead and switch because we're going to be outsized a bit no matter who you are guarding. We're just trying to work with what we can.

By the last game, we had the place packed. We even had offensive linemen with their bodies painted. It was almost like a regular college.
