QUOTABLE
Head Coach Bob Boldon: On the play of Kat Yelle:
"I thought Kat did a great job for us today. When we were struggling she hit a big three for us when we were having a hard time scoring. She made free throws down the stretch and handled the basketball flawlessly. She came up with a big steal in the second to last  possession and got the offensive rebound on the last  possession. She's just a hard-nosed kid who works and works and I thought her hard work really paid off today."
