QUOTABLE – HEAD COACH CANDICE M. JACKSON
"We have to really start out strong... Delaware just had a very good win against a strong UNCW team on Friday, so it's important for us to be ready to go from the beginning... We've been talking all year about being consistent, about having that same energy through the good and the bad, playing our roles, knowing our responsibilities and just taking care of that business, that's what's going to need to happen against this Delaware team.... They have a veteran class, the two freshmen have come in and made a mark on this league already, so we have to really pay attention, make adjustments throughout the game and basically feed off our own positive energy and build from there."
