Quote of the day

“I thought she was an incredible leader for us. We talked about the importance of that before the game knowing that she’s got a young roster that leadership was going to be really important for us shorthanded without Frankie {Hayley Frank} out there. That leadership piece was going to be really important for our freshman. I thought she did a great job, starting with her leadership but also being aggressive offensively.”

- Robin Pingeton on Mama Dembele's performance against Tennessee
