Rich Conover Great Quotations

Jen has exhibited a great deal of leadership in Rachel's absence. She is a very vocal leader. She is continually pushing her teammates to stay positive and give their best effort.

I think Laura has played outstanding in Rachel's absence. She's been a consistent scoring threat, a great defender. She's been very aggressive on the offensive end, filling Rachel's shoes from a scoring standpoint.

I think, for her, she felt personally that being at home would benefit her more. She was a great part of our program for 2 1/2 years; we appreciate the effort she put in and we really wish her the best.

That was just great. Syracuse is a very prominent program in the area. It was great to go on the road and beat them.

We wanted to try to set the tone on the defensive end and really take it to Albany early. We felt like we wanted to establish our presence here at home and I thought we did a great job of that early on.

We're very disappointed right now. Give UMBC credit, we could not handle their zone defense. They had a great game plan and we had no answers for how they came at us.

It's day to day and when she's healthy she's going to play. That's not my call, the sports medicine staff is doing a great job with Rachel and it's just one of those things that physically take longer than others.

It's gonna take a great team effort. It's going to be their Senior Day, and the emotions will be flowing just like at our Senior Day. We really wanna keep this streak going, but it's going to be tough.

I can't tell you how many times she has made a great hustle play that has lead to a big basket.
