Nick Vandewalle Quotations

We're awfully familiar with one another. It's tough enough beating a team three times. Four is asking for a lot.

We have players who don't care who is leading us in stats. On any given night, someone different will lead in scoring. It might not always be pretty, but they get the job done.

Shannon already was a pretty skilled player. That comes from her father. But she's improved so much since she's been here. She's our general and makes our offense go.

Our inside really took care of business tonight. I think that was the definite advantage. When we get that inside outside game going, you have to pick your poison.

Robin was knocking shots away left and right. I knew she had a lot. I didn't it was that many until I looked at the stats afterward. It was impressive.

We need to keep doing what we've been doing.

We definitely know who they are and what they like to do. We don't really need any in-depth scouting report because we've seen just about everything from them.

Emotionally, this was a big victory for us. We're planning on seeing Academy at least two more times this season and probably three.

Defense has been the key for us throughout the playoffs. We were able to able to keep (MCC) in check, and that allowed me to use some reserves in the second half.

They're both be out there, but they'll be a step slower.

It may have affected us a bit. But I don't blame the officials for us losing. We just weren't as focused as usual.

Not starting her is something that we have been doing all year. We have had a different girl lead us in scoring just about every game.

It was a great effort by our team. Every time we made a run, (Freedom) got back up. Every time we got in there, they pushed us back. We wanted to come in a play well and I think we did that.

It was pretty much what we expected. We just tried to play as many of the girls as we could.

It was just a bad day. The good thing was we won.

I made her promise me one thing. Get back here so we can win it all.

In the first quarter, we were settling for the jump shot. I kept telling our guards to drive it and be aggressive.

The hardest thing is trying to keep everybody happy. We're sharing minutes, and that means some scoring averages go down. But the bonus is having that depth, which we didn't have last year.

(The Jaguars) pack it in so well with that zone. They basically dare us to hit the outside shot. I wish they'd come out and press us, but (Academy coach) Casey Higgins knows what she's doing.
