It's an honor to be in any kind of post-season. It's a reward for winning the Big Sky title.

This will be a huge test for us, but we're going in to win.

Natalie played very well in our win over Weber State last week. She took good shots and worked hard on the boards. It was nice to see her produce so well offensively.

Natalie played big for us tonight. She took the ball hard to the basket and finished strong on every shot. She also made a couple of great skip passes that led to some outside shots for us.

I think she just is very talented offensively. She has scored all year, but she had stepped it up in the last couple of games in the Big Sky.
