Quotables
Head Coach Sheila McGill on her teams strong effort against Denver
"We focused all week on making sure we were defensively sound and that was something we did well today. We also wanted to explode, we did not want to just sit in. We wanted to defend strong as a unit and then explode out, and man our explosions were fun. If that is the performance we can give against the rest of the teams in the conference, we are going to be ready."
