QUOTABLE – HEAD COACH CANDICE M. JACKSON
On the game vs. William & Mary...
"It's Education Day, so we know the atmosphere here and the energy is going to be amazing... We really need to feed into that with so many people here cheering for us, wanting to see what we do, I think we owe the home crowd a good show... William & Mary have played well [since they last played The College] and got some good wins, I think it's a matter of us putting a full 40 minutes together, nothing different than any other game... We've seen William & Mary already, we know what to expect, it's about us going into the second half [of the season], making the right adjustments, doing what we need to do... As far as what we're doing, it's possession by possession."
On Arynn Eady's CAA Rookie of the Week honor & the freshman class...
"The thing about freshman, especially those that play a lot, some get it quickly, some get it in the middle of the season and some get it at a little later... We're happy to see Arynn really stepping up and growing into her own and starting to understand this level... Tyler [Collins] has done well throughout the year, Madison [Taylor] has been solid, Latrice [Perkins] has had a good time... It's good for Arynn to be able to step up and join her classmates in that sense... She's capable of a double-double every night, she plays with poise and composure and stays focused... She did a good job of not fouling, her staying in the game means a lot for us because it gives us that strong inside presence."
