POST-GAME QUOTES (Shaw vs. FSU)
Jacques Curtis, Head Women's Basketball Coach - Shaw University
-"We knew Fayetteville would fight to get back in the game, that's their style"
-"The girls came out in the beginning very focused but sort of lost the focus in the second half"
-"Just getting to the championship is not going to get it for this team, we came to win"
-"We are still trying to find ourselves and identity, so intimidation is part of our strategy that will come"
-"Its all about redemption"
Celanese Bozeman, Sophomore guard - Shaw University
-"I wasn't shocked at how we played, because we are here to win"
-"They battled back, but we kept our composure and came out with the win"
Nicky Souter, Senior forward - Shaw University
-"We knew every loose ball they would go after it, so would we"
-"Tomorrow (referring to the championship game) I will play like I never been there before"
Eric Tucker, Head Women's Basketball Coach - Fayetteville State University
-"They could've just laid down, we were down by 30 at one point, but they fought back and played hard"
-"I think our program is of good quality right now...allowing some players to get healthy and some good recruiting this summer and we should be fine"
"Today was not the day for us to dig ourselves out of a hole against a team as good as Shaw"
"I don't think it was the Shaw mystique, I just think we played a lousy first half"
L'Oreal Price, Sophomore guard - Fayetteville State University
-"The aggressiveness is different. People are bigger and stronger. We got to get in the gym and lift weights so we can get stronger"
Leticia Dickson, All-CIAA senior guard - Fayetteville State University
-"We went over the things that we should have been doing at halftime and that was the difference in the second half"
