QUOTABLE – HEAD COACH CANDICE M. JACKSON
"Northeastern is one of the top teams in the conference right now, they're playing well with their veteran group... We have to be focused, very disciplined and organized for 40 full minutes... Our effort is there, we're coming along in the process, understanding the journey but we have to have everything click for 40 minutes and really be the aggressor... We're looking to execute offensively, be assignment based and finish our assignments... Rebounding is going to be key, they shoot a lot from the outside and shoot them well, if we can get those contested and get those rebounds to start our transition game that will definitely help."
