Sophomore Forward Breanna Stewart
On what she does to get so much blocks:
"Well, I just put my hands up. Coach has always told me to put my hands straight up because I don't want to get fouls called. If they shoot it into my hands, I'll take it."
On Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis having eight assists
"I think it's great. Kaleena's all-around game is wonderful. I mean she had eight assists and that's good for someone who was your leading scorer last year."
On her take-away from tonight's game:
I think tonight was very fun. It's good to play against other people other than our practice players. They're great but it's good to try your offense and defense on people who have never seen it before.
Junior Forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis
On how she feels the team is coming together:
"I think it took us about a week of practice before we really got on the path to where we wanted to go. We kind of got everyone into the swing of things and on the same page. Now, ever since we've been practicing we're doing what we need to do and just getting it done."
On getting ready to open the regular season:
"We're excited. We're ready to see how well we're doing and gauge ourselves."
On having eight assists on the night:
"I try to get assists as much as possible. Today, it was really more of a focus. There are a lot of times where I could have shot a three but it wasn't going to be beneficial. I was trying to get our walk-ons involved and help Saniya get the offense down."
On what she wanted to accomplish tonight:
"Today wasn't really about scoring points. It was just about our team getting better."
