“It's being more mature and not kind of playing street ball or throwing it around or being careless with it. That's a good sign.”
Ann Strother
“If the puck doesn't get out of the zone by the third attempt (by the defending team), the puck will often not get out of the zone and the end effect is a goal.”
Scotty Bowman
“The thing that is amazing about her is the maturity she shows. She played a poor game one night and then she wipes that off her slate and comes out the next game and plays great.”
Corey Clayton
“It started in the Stanford game. We matured and got more aggressive, and stopped playing not to lose. Not having any close games in the preseason and the high ranking (No. 9), all of that played into us having to go through some things, which was good for us. We are young, and we needed to have a few growing pains.”
Charli Turner Thorne
“She's a very mature kid. She was playing eighth-grade ball in the fourth grade. She's always played up. She's a good player and a great kid. She's our best shooter, and they did a good job of taking her out of it. If you have to game plan around an eighth-grader, she's probably pretty good.”
Dave Farrell
“He's getting better. We're still not throwing him the ball much on offense, but he's getting some boards and maturing.”
Cal Saunders
“They played a lot last year but they've come a long way this year. They've matured, not so much physically as mentally. Of course, we never know with this team. Earlier in the season, we played some great games, then we'd come out flat.”
