The girls were welcoming and warm, treated us with respect and had nice attitudes. It makes it more enjoyable, and it's nice they came together to do this.

I told the girls that the pre-rankings are a sign of respect. However, it only means that we must work harder. I know this team will rise to the occasion when the times present themselves.

They're role models for their schools. We've been coming here for 30 years. This campus is home to us.

We asked the girls to do some moves we thought would get us in position (to win). We can't ask for anything more.

Our strength is inside, but when those other girls are hitting shots like that it make us pretty tough to beat. You can't just stop one of us, you have to stop all of us.

Nobody can touch St. X. But the girls' race is going to be good. It's going to be either Manual or Sacred Heart.
