Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Marlene Stollings
Opening Statement...
"Really proud of our team taking on a team that has gone to back to back NCAA tournaments and really just controlling the game from start to finish. Really pleased with our defense for forcing them to 26 turnovers. I really thought it allowed us to get out in transition and get a lot of buckets. I'm proud of our team for one day prep turnaround against a team that plays 1-3-1, which you don't see very often, so thought we handled that pretty well."
On rebounding today…….
"Well what we did was we showed all 24 of Georgetown's offensive rebounds in our film session and I think that spoke volume to our young ladies. They did not like what that looked like and felt pretty confident they were able to do something about that. Obviously, outrebounded by 24 was impressive and I don't think they liked that and didn't want to see that again on film."
On the second half……
"I thought the pace started to bother Seton Hall a little bit and I think that is what started things to open up even after a made bucket, we were able to challenge them."
On changing the starting line up…..
"We told our young ladies that to be ready that line ups could adjust because of scouts or based on practice performance. Today was pretty scout based. We knew that they played the zone and we wanted our three point shooters on the floor to space them out, so that's why we put Joanna (Hedstrom) at the 4, and Gadiva (Hubbard) can obviously play zone or man, but we wanted to have solid three point shooting on the floor."
Junior Carlie Wagner
On her scoring performance…..
"I was just trying to shoot confidently and just take the right timing of shots. I felt like after I made my first one that I felt confident after that to just keep shooting and my teammates did a great job penetrating to the basket and finding me in the opening and overall just being aggressive."
Freshman Gadiva Hubbard
On getting the start today…..
"I was feeling pretty confident. I knew if I didn't do anything, I had to rebound because like Coach Marlene said, I didn't like video, so if I didn't do anything, I had to rebound."
