Head Coach Chelsea Banbury: "I thought tonight was good for the fact that we got everybody a chance to play, and it was brought to my attention that everyone also scored. So it was nice to see that we were able to have that balanced scoring, and everyone got opportunities. Early on I just thought we had a slow start, but I think a lot of it was we just weren't as aggressive attacking the basket as we should have been. I think we have people that can score, and we have talked about sharing the ball, but we weren't taking advantage of the opportunities that we had. It was something that we talked about at halftime, and I think the girls made a good adjustment. We were still getting easy shots and that's how we were able to separate. We also picked up the defensive intensity, so after a slow start I was pretty happy with what we ended up with."
 
Skyler Curran opened up the scoring 16 seconds into the game off an assist from Callie Scheier.
