QUOTABLE – HEAD COACH CANDICE M. JACKSON
"The biggest thing is we've got to have some energy... We want to finish on a winning tip... Presbyterian is a well-coached team, they play hard, they're scrappy, they hustle... We didn't bring the level of energy that I really wanted against Charleston Southern, so we'll need to bring that on Friday to get the win."
