On Ida Edwards' start to the second half
"That was a big momentum for them. It took away what we had going into half time."
"We split the first two meeting with them this year, but they won this one."
"We shot an uncharacteristic 33% in the game, they shot 57%. That was the big difference in the game."
"She is very capable, it was her night. She is very quick, we're not that quick. We need to be more physical with players in the paint."

Senior Erika Souza

"I just wanted to win. It wasn't just me, everybody was fighting."

Emporia State

Head Coach Brandon Schneider
Opening statement
"I think it's really important to be a team who can handle runs. I was really proud of how we responded in coming back after intermission."
"I felt that if we could hold Baptist under 60, we would have a chance to win."

On Ida Edwards
"I thought she did a nice job of attacking the rim, and we did a nice job of keeping Southwest Baptist out of their rhythm."

Michelle Stueve

"When Ida plays hard and plays like that it helps our team, it gives our team a spark when someone can score two or three baskets in a row. It really adds to our team aspect when you have three or four players who can score, it helps us out a lot."
