POSTGAME QUOTES
Junior Fatmata Janneh on what they can take moving forward from this game…
"We still have a lot to learn. Today didn't come out the way we planned, but we have a long period of time until the next game. So we can still go back to the drawing board and see what we need to work on."

Graduate Lauren Ware on offensive struggles…
"In the first quarter we matched their energy and their intensity and it was kind of back and forth. I think we just went away from that in the second quarter and they went on their run."

Head Coach Joni Taylor on takeaways from the game…
"I thought Fats made good decisions in the back court. We're going to face another team like them in conference play and so that gives us some confidence as well."
