Ashley Josephson Quotations

We are pretty disappointed we didn't come out right away and play our 'A' game. We had a pretty bad first half, not intense enough. ... The first half is what killed us.

We've never felt this throughout our whole career here at Wisconsin. It's unbelievable. You can't explain it.

We've never felt this through our whole careers here at Wisconsin. It's unbelievable. You just can't explain it. This is the first time we've beaten Minnesota in our careers and you're just ecstatic.

She says what she feels and she's not afraid to criticize you to your face. And when you're watching film, as a player you have to be able to take that in and know that she's not telling you personally - but as a coach she's telling you to improve your game. She won't hold anything back.

That's one thing we've been struggling with all year long. ... You have to step up with confidence and knock them down.

I just try to forget about what happened in the first half. And then it's a new 20 minutes. You just have to go out there with a fresh mind and stroke the ball.
