QUOTABLES
Head coach Brooke Stoehr

"Texas will be a big challenge for us and one we're looking forward to as we continue to grow as a group. They are big and athletic and will pressure us 94 feet for 40 minutes. We must play with poise offensively and limit our turnovers. They create offense from their defense and do a great job on the boards. Our team is excited to get back on the court against another team after our 10-day break for finals."
