"Eric Dixon" was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, flautist, composer and arranger.

Dixon's professional career extended from 1950 until his death in 1989, during which time he was credited on perhaps as many as 200 recordings. He worked with Paul Gonsalves, Ahmed Abdul-Malik, Mal Waldron, Oliver Nelson, Quincy Jones, Jack McDuff, Joe Williams (jazz singer)/Joe Williams, Bennie Green, Frank Foster (musician)/Frank Foster, and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, but is probably best known for his tenure in Count Basie's band, which lasted almost two decades. Dixon continued to play in the "ghost band" after Basie's death.

That was a huge shot for us. That's the way Jenny played all summer. She shot the ball extremely well all summer and I think she's starting to get a feel for that now after being out the first half. Obviously, the way she stepped up for us was big tonight. But I thought all of the girls stepped up tonight.

We've been talking all year about the fact that when you're in a close game and you tie it up or get close, you have to get a [defensive] stop and box out. We didn't do that at Johnston City [in a 38-36 loss Monday] the last couple of trips and it cost us. Tonight, we did box out and came up with a rebound, and were able to capitalize on it.

That was an extremely great accomplishment for these girls. With all that we went through, the girls had a lot of chances to throw in the towel, but they didn't. They stuck together.
