Winston-Salem, N.C. - Postgame Quotes
Wake Forest Head Coach Mike Petersen
Opening Statement...
"I was pleased with our effort. We played so invested and so committed. To lose a game like that is really tough. No one player wins the game, just like no one player loses the game. We need to take better care of the ball and scoring is something you need to do to win the game."
Junior Liz Strunk...
"I think we came ready to play, but we weren't getting the ball through like we were told. We need to execute better on offense."
Virginia Head Coach Debbie Ryan
Opening Statement...
"We sealed the game several times, but not being able to make those free throws really hurt us. I was very proud of the way they gutted it out. They really finished the game strong, we were disappointed at halftime. IT doesn't matter when you win, so long as you do it. The Deacons played tremendous, it was a true battle."
On All-American LaTonya Blue
"She started the game with jumpers and we had to remind her she's not an All-American there, she's an All-American on the block, she needed to play inside more."
On the women's ACC this season...
"It's going to be a dog fight. I know Duke and North Carolina have the advantage on paper right now, but it's going to be a race all the way."
On Sharnee Zoll...
"She was a little inconsistent today, but when it counted, she played. She came to play in overtime and really set up a lot of plays for us."
