Burton's Corner
 "I was pleased and proud of how we played tonight. Prophet was very efficient tonight. We had no answer for her. Outside of that, I thought we played well. I thought we did good attacking the paint although I do wish we had a few more touches there. We had good looks all night but the ball just would not drop in for us tonight. We also took care of the ball tonight. Probably the best we have done this year. "
