Sam has been phenomenal for us. She's an all-around great player.

Everybody thought they would run all over us, but I knew we could run with them. It just came down to fatigue at the end. They have a deeper bench than we do.

Samantha was phenomenal. She's done everything for us all year, and I'm really proud of her effort.

Samantha is such an unselfish player. That's what makes a good player great — making everyone around her better.

When she takes it strong to the basket, she can score on anybody at anytime.

It has been such a joy to work with her. When anyone says anything about Sam, I just smile inside. She's a great person to be around. She really cares about people.
