Marquette Quotes

Head Coach Terri Mitchell
"We talked a lot in the locker room about starting well tonight because we are in BIG EAST play. From here on out it is BIG EAST team against BIG EAST team. We wanted to start well against an opponent from what we feel is the best conference in the nation."

"This team is very unselfish and willing to give up ball. We shot well and have confidence right now. We took advantage of our opportunities against the zone."

"We need 10 players to be successful in this league. We felt like we had the right combinations out there tonight. You never know, game-to-game, we want our people to be confident with one another. As long as we are successful mixing our combinations, we will continue to do this."

Krystal Ellis
"Our defensive intensity picked up during the game and helped us get out to a good lead with turnovers creating good looks."

Christina Quaye
"We like to penetrate and kick and we want to be confident in our shots. If a shot is open, we are going to shoot it."

"We try and focus on one game at a time and then push forward. We are happy we are winning but we have to keep on going."
