I threw the ball away in the last two minutes, so it was nice to have it in my hands afterward. I've always dreamed of winning a title, and I have the ball in my hands when the game ends.

Me and Nicole were real nervous before the game.

There is a certain level of satisfaction (getting to the finals), to be one of the two teams left. We're here and now we have the opportunity to win a championship.

I wanted to be more of a table-setter in this game, but if I had the looks I was going to take them. I'm a shooter. I'm always looking for my shot.

One player is not bigger than the team. A some point during the season, we've pretty much had every one of our starters miss time or miss games and we've been fine. It's unfortunate, the timing of some of our injuries but that's the way basketball goes. We have confidence in each other.

It's something I will never forget.

We came out nervous in the first half, we were hesitant, we weren't aggressive. We felt like we had a good run in us for the second half.

It was their first game without her (Smith), we didn't want to underestimate them. She was a franchise player, I don't know what that would feel like not playing with someone like that all of a sudden.

I think you have to credit their defense in the first half. They really pressured Nicole (Powell) and I and didn't want to let us even catch the ball. And when we came off screens, they were right there.
