BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -
BGSU HEAD COACH CURT MILLER:
"There were some positives today. We rebounded the ball well. When your team attempts as many three-pointers as we did, you've got to go get some rebounds. Twenty-seven offensive rebounds is a huge positive for us."
"If I had to do it all over again with a team defending us like (Wright State) did, we'd still roll our '4' player out and get her some three-point looks. All you can do is draw up plays to get her open looks. The shots just didn't go down for (senior) Dana (Western-Schuka) today."
"We got ourselves to the foul line better than we have in a long time."
"To their (WSU's) credit, they didn't quit when they got down early. That's a great sign for their first-year coach. They were 1-8, and down early on the road, but they fought back intensely, and took a six-point lead at the break."
"Their top-three kids on paper (Tiffany Webb, Iesha Gray and Angie Ott) combined for 60 points today, which means their best players are showing up. That's a tremendous positive for their coach."
"Stefanie Wenzel has been absolutely tremendous for us. She got to the foul line, made her three-pointers and played good defense. I can't ask for more from her."
"When your game plan, and our number-one goal defensively, is to shut down Tiffany Webb, and she scores 33 points, it makes you scratch your head."
"If we play that identical game again, and give those (BGSU) kids the same looks at the arc, I feel like those shots are going to go in, and we could win. We outrebounded them, had fewer turnovers and made more three's. But, if we're going to give them the green light to shoot the three, they've got to shoot the ball with confidence."
SOPHOMORE STEFANIE WENZEL:
"I go into every game just wanting to play hard. I was struggling with my shot (in practice) this week, but they started falling today, and it was feeling good. But, I just wanted to play hard, and I wanted to win."
"We just need to get over the hump. We're so close, and it's so frustrating. We're playing a lot better, but we just can't quite get over the hump."
