Wake Forest Postgame Quotes
January 26, 2004 / vs. North Carolina
Wake Forest head coach Charlene Curtis
On the Game:
"I am so happy for my players. They have been working so hard. We finally played 40 minutes of defense. We never lost our composure. Everyone was listening and united. We got and created a lot of breaks for us. I am very happy with the win."
On the Defense:
"Ivory Latta shot really well against us the first time we played. We held her in check this game. We contained the dribblers a lot better and the tempo of the game was more suited to our style of play."
On The Home Court Advantage:
"We really have a sense of confidence against UNC at home. The players seem to pay closer attention to the scouting reports. We tend to play very well against them."
"We have many players capable of big nights. It's not just a one person show. Melissa Washington gave us some big minutes tonight. We really improved in rebounding and had a bigger presence under the boards. There are no superstars on the team."
Wake Forest Guard Cotelia Bond-Young
"I'm not surprised at all by the win. We have Georgia Tech coming up and if we continue to play like this we should be all right."
Wake Forest Guard Tonia Brown
On the End of the Game Free Throws:
"Usually I don't miss two free throws in a row. I just tried to hit them for my teammates."
UNC Coach Sylvia Hatchell
On the game:
"The bottom line is that we have to finish things off. We had shots, layups and foul shots that we just did not make. We also did not start with the intensity that we needed."
On the eight-point lead with nine minutes left:
"When we had the lead, we should have expanded the lead to put them away. We were not tough enough and did not finish things off."
UNC freshman forward Camille Little
On the return home to play:
"I was excited to come home. I wanted to come back and beat Wake, but unfortunately that did not happen. I was really excited, more than nervous."
