From Travis McCorkle: Q: What are your thoughts on tonight's win? "It was an improvement from when we played this team in the second game of conference play. In the first match up, we were missing some people you want to use that as an excuse. In this match up with everyone you can tell people like Grace Jordan and Madison Bourzikas were more comfortable and that opened up more space for Sanai. The first goal from her gave us an advantage, and how she was playing I was saying she is going to score again, she is going to score again. With 14 shots in the game, I would like to get more goals off of those shots, but I am happy to walk out of here with two and the shutout. Q to Madison Maxey: The team has been pretty dominant at home during your time here what can you contribute to the success? "I think it's all the traditions that we have in the locker room and what we do beforehand. Playing at home is our most confident self no matter the stakes or how nervous we are play the best at home because it is home to us. It is also nice to play in front of our fans and we are lucky to play in the atmosphere that they create. Q to Sanai Stewart: What did you see on your run and when you got the ball just right outside the box? " I practice it all the time just the cut-back move that I did. I saw the back line dropping so I cut back and used my peripheral vision to aim at the back frame and it was perfect. Q to the players: You are one win away from a conference tournament championship to go with your regular season championship what does the team have to do from your standpoint to get it done? "Stick with the traditions in the locker room, we need to play for ourselves and our fans, and I think our hard work is going to pay off in the end. Coaches Answer: DBU is always a really good opponent it is going to be nice to play them at home, we have progressed as a team since the last time we played them I told the girls about a month ago there is something about this team that could be special. I hope the girls don't view the match as one more step I hope they view it as the next step, so when we get into the NCAA Tournament we can make some noise in that.
