Coach Walvius Quotes:
On the game:
” I was pleased with the second half. We did a great job. I thought our defense and full court press in the second was good.”
“We were slow starting but we got it together and that’s what you hope for.”
On the team and a couple players:
“The strength of our team is our team. We get a little bit from everybody.”
“Again, the strength of our team is our depth and trying to find a chemistry of players that work well together.”
“With the level of intensity we’re looking at defensively we’re trying not to keep them in the game longer than the four or eight minutes.”
“Ilona is very fast, she’s got great speed and great feet.”
“We like Melanie on the ball because she’s got great hands and great intensity.”
Melanie Johnson
On 4-8 minutes per player:
“There’s a lot less pressure when you can go four minutes and give it all you have.”
On what she brings to the game:
“I just want to get in and do my job.”
Demetress Adams
On the full court press:
“Our philosophy is ball pressure and it intensifies the game.”
