Post Game Quotes
Emporia State
Head Coach Brandon Schneider
Opening statement
"I'm obviously really proud of our team and their performance. I'm really proud of our entire team. I thought that Andrea Leiker stepped up and had a great second half."
On stopping Schumacher
"We started the ball game trying to front her and we lost at that. We had to make some ajustments in the second half. We played behind her and kept her six feet away from the basket."
On team offense
"We found some things against the 2-3 zone, we really were using my dad's offensive system. The offense we ran in the second half was the one he always ran, it worked for him and tonight against the zone it worked for us."
On Stueve tying the school scoring record
"I dont know what records Michelle doens't have, there are no accolades that come her way that she doesn't deserve."
Senior forward Michelle Stueve
On career scoring record
"I actually didn't know until right now, it's a great accomplishment but right now we have bigger things to accomplish as a team."
Northwest Missouri State
Head Coach Gene Steinmeyer
Opening Statement
"There are two factors worth talking about, foul trouble and injuries. I thought our kids played tough"
On Emporia's Big Four
"If their big four -- Leiker, Stueve, Edwards and Boston -- are going to get 68 points, you're going to have to outscore them. Tonight we certainly did not."
On the Bearcats three-point shooting
"We came out and it looked at times like we were going to break out, but they just didn't go down tonight. Our decison making wasn't that bad with the 3's, they just weren't going in."
Junior forward Meghan Brue
On her injury
"I've had a hip problem the last four games, I just keep falling and hitting the same spot. It didn't hurt that bad while I was in the game because I just wasn't thinking about it."
Senior center Mandi Schumacher
On second half performance
"I was just kind of getting pushed out and started forcing my shot, but it wasn't going in."
