Shalee Lehning Quotations

With the road games that we have had, especially playing at Texas, we know the magnitude that it's going to be and we just have to make sure we pull together as a team. It's something that, when you have thousands of fans screaming against you, that the 11 or 12 of us need to pull together. We are going to show that we will come together and be a wall to have to deal with.

Ultimately, it's something that we've worked for all season - to win a championship and to be one of only two teams in the nation to end on a win is huge for us. Everybody kind of underestimated us at the beginning of the season. We proved to ourselves and everybody else that we are a team that is going to compete, and we're going to do good things.

We really have to focus on defense and our intensity. Just working hard and having fun, because it's something that we really haven't been doing lately and we are really going to focus on these two games to really try and compete for 40 minutes of a game and not just be a first-half team.

Our first half defense was awesome. We came out and had great intensity, and we played Kansas State basketball.

Our crowd here is amazing, and they are our sixth man.

We just were out there competing in the game each possession, and we're not going to sit here and look in the past and what has happened then. It's just one of those things where we lost focus and our intensity, and we've got to work on that.

This was a great win for us. It's tough to be able to come in here with this team and keep the streak alive. KU is a great team and this is a tough atmosphere to play in, but we just came with great intensity and focus and we got the job done.

This was a big game for us, and we had a lead again, and we weren't able to capitalize on it, and it's something that we are really going to have to work through.

They are a good team, and they are going to come with great defense, and we are just going to have to really work on our execution.

Right now we are just in the learning process, we are a young team. We are having some issues later in the games ? we're just not executing to our ability, but we are going to start finishing games like we need to.

It's an honor for my team to look at me like that.

It was a great opportunity for us to regain our focus and work on the things we needed to. We have our last four games, so we can really focus on finishing strong, and we are all rested up and ready to go.

I just was out there trying to help my team. I didn't really know what the stats were.

I had no idea. I was just out there, trying to contribute and help my team. I am honored. It's awesome, but I have to give credit to my teammates. They were out there battling with me and they were the ones making shots.

In the second half they came out and hit a few shots that made us kind of step back a little bit, but luckily, we were able to regain our focus, but it was too late.
