Quotes by Ric Garcia

“Douglas came out fired up and we couldnt meet their energy level. Nicole had two fouls early and we sent her to the bench. And we struggled with their 1-3-1 (defensive scheme).”

“I think we did a good job on the foul line and spread it out enough. We started Megan (along with other smalls, Nunez and Vega) to see if we could get quickness. We felt like if we could pressure their guards with three smaller players, wed be quicker and the advantage would be ours.”

“I thought Megan really worked hard. Shes trying to get minutes. Shes done a good job toward that goal. She was all over the court and she showed leadership.”

“It was a quiet bus ride all the way (to Reno). It wasnt like these girls that Ive come to know. It worried me. They seemed to be...lifeless. With this group, we need to play with energy.”

“Were all right. Were still doing great in conference. We have two losses in league. Its not like the whole world fell apart.”

“Weve got to go back to the gym right away (today). We didnt practice our offensive sets enough. That was a coaching error. We worked more on our defense than our offense and it showed.”

“It was a major coaching blunder. The first group did their job. The second group came in and the lead went away. Then the third group couldnt stop them either.”

“Thats a young team that has gotten better as the season went along. Theyre sure better than the last time we played them.”

“We just struggled all night.”

“Were working on getting it to our big people. (Six-foot-two center) Nicole (Scott) hasnt been getting touches. Thats been our emphasis at practice.”
