Sharon Versyp Game Quotations

I thought we really had a shot when we cut it to two. And then we made some not-smart turnovers. That's not how you're going to overcome a deficit. The next thing you know, it's a 10-, 11-point game again.

We have to limit her touches and let everyone else beat us. We have to take her out of the game with double and triple teams.

Merrill is one of those players that does everything. She may be a role player, but those are the players I fear the most. She definitely impacted the game on both the offensive and defensive end.

The game of basketball is a game of runs. They got within 11, but we were able to keep on coming.

This is a huge win for our players and our program. We really executed our game plan to the tee. We hit every goal that we set.

We knew coming in here that the focus would be on trying to take Davenport out of the game and taking Packer out of the game. That presents opportunities for everybody else to step up and that's what happened.

The last two years we lost the first game of this tournament, so this is a big step for the program. Michigan gave us a good battle. They've got some great talent on that team. We did some good things in the first half to separate ourselves.
