Mariya Moore on staying focused after creating a big halftime lead: “It’s very hard because you set a standard. So any mistake, any turnover gets pointed out even more. You have to stay more focused because you want to stay above the bar you just set.”

Coach Jeff Walz on how his team played defensively: “We came out and really followed the game plan. We only turned them over 10 times but the goal was to make them shoot over us. I thought our kids were dialed in and we did a really good good rebounding.”
