Wright State Post-Game Quotes
Head Coach Bridgett Williams
Opening Statement
"As usual, Traci [Edwards] was her dominant self and we had to come up with answers for a dominant ball club. In the huddle, we asked ourselves, `how we would want to end our season and if the game ended when we were down, would we be satisfied?' They played a heck of a (second) half. I'm so proud of their hard work- they proved to be very tough, especially down the stretch."
On scouting Milwaukee
"I thought we did a good job of scouting and we made sure they couldn't get the looks they got last week."
On the turnovers
"I can't remember winning a game with 29 turnovers."
On the game atmosphere
"I give a lot of credit to Green Bay's sixth man. It is such an honor for women's basketball and an honor for this League. I wish all of our arenas looked like this, it's a unique situation."
Freshman Guard Shey Peddy
On the win
"This win gives us a lot of momentum, but we know we have to step up and stay focused as a team if we want to get the job done on Sunday"
Milwaukee Post-Game Quotes
Head Coach Sandy Botham
Opening Statement
"We give a lot of credit to Wright State --they came in and pressured the heck out of us and played exceptionally well. We had hard time running offense- their defensive intensity took us out of it. Wright State is very physical and we were mentally fatigued.
On the flow of the game
"It was a game of runs and I give credit to the players that they didn't fold. There were times I thought we wouldn't be able to regain our composure, but we just had too many turnovers."
On Wright State's defense
"Their pressure kept us from running that high-low game. They were in our face all game."
On the performance of Traci Edwards
"For Traci Edwards to get 25 points is amazing. She never ceases to amaze me when she gets banged around. She had to carry us for us to win games."
On Wright State head coach Bridgett Williams
"Bridgett deserves coach of the year award - this game was a Coach of the Year performance."
Junior center Traci Edwards
On the loss
"It was pretty frustrating for me to get into an offensive flow because they were pressuring a lot and it was hard to get the ball into where it needed to go."
On breaking the school record for free-throws in a season
"Records don't mean anything to me because we do not get to play anymore."
