POST-GAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH Melanie Balcomb
(On the depth of her team)
“I think this is the most depth we’ve had in the five years that I’ve been here. Hopefully that will help us down the stretch and help us stay healthy into the SEC portion of the season.”
(On if she sees what she’s looking for from her players this early in the season)
“What I was looking for was really to get a lot of looks at the different players, the different combinations. Getting the six new players out there was important. The big lead in the first half gave us time to get all those new players out there and into the action.”
(On whether she’s pleased with the performance of her freshmen)
“Absolutely, great effort from all of them. I think they were all pretty well prepared. Jessica Mooney had 10 points, Amber (Norton) had seven, I think the only thing we need to improve is maintaining our energy throughout the second half.”
(On having her entire roster getting minutes in tonight’s game)
“Everyone was going to get in tonight. They all just needed to get their feet wet.”
(On the play of Merideth Marsh)
“I think Merideth is great. She sees the floor very well. We needed to be able to give Dee [Davis] a rest, and Merideth is a great fix for that, you can see, she scored nine and had four assists tonight.”
