Kateri Linville
“Today was a real team effort. We know that we have multiple threats and we wanted to get back to making sure we work together to create good opportunities. It was great to see a lot of assists. We have more than one dimension and we were able to show that today. I'm happy to see the team have a good response this week [after losing two straight] and grab another two-game swing. We need to keep this momentum building and focus on one game at a time.”
Junior Shannon Hawley
[On four assists and six points]: “Usually I don't feed, I'm more of a dodger, but today everyone was open. I have a lot of confidence in our team and we have excellent finishers, so I knew I had to get them the ball.”
[On momentum]: “We came ready to play and we have to keep going strong. We have to keep the momentum going through non-conference play and as we continue CAA action.”
Junior Ali Karwoski
“We went through a rough patch, but we have to get back on Delaware's game. This is a big win for us and now we need to stay on track, keep the momentum going and keep moving forward.”
