Cathy Nixon Quotations

She is kinda on a roll. Last game she had eight assists and two turnovers, and to run our offense as a freshman is phenomenal.

She is someone who has multiple weapons offensively. She came back in and has a key block, gets a steal, handles the ball down the court and finds the open man in transition.

To come in as a freshman and do what she did -- and she did it consistently -- well, offensively she was just a force. I'm excited about the future with her and happy to see her rewarded for her hard work and achievements.

I think it's huge for us to have six scoring in double figures. The more weapons we have, the better we are and it's just huge for us to have six kids scoring in double figures.

I thought she played really well with four fouls. In the past she has been a little tentative when she goes in there, but tonight I thought she still worked hard defensively -- you still have to play with four fouls and she did a good job.

We really wanted to do a better job in the second half. This team made me nervous and I felt that we had to come out with the mentality that we were down.

We really wanted to come out and push the ball in the second half. We were getting dominated on the boards and I knew if we could play better defensively we would be able to capitalize in transition.

We knew that this team would be a challenge. I knew it would be a battle and I thought we did a good job of weathering the storms and scoring stretches they put up.

We scratched and clawed our way back and tied it, and we probably had our worst four possessions of the game in a row right there. We turned the ball over and gave them a couple of open shots. I don't know if we were casual. It's hard for me to identify exactly what caused that.

We are anxious to crack that code. I hope that Nevada is an opportunity for us to do that.

Any win is a good thing for us. This was one of the goals we set, this is something we wanted to accomplish. I'm proud of the kids, they played well and it's fun to see the reward of their hard work.

It was an all-around great game for the team. This is just the beginning, we have a great future in Division I.
