Sacramento vs. Indiana

Coach McHugh
(on Catchings)
"She is a very tough player to guard. Tamika is great from outside as well as her pull up shots. Our goal was to run different people on her and it ended up that Tangela was the best match. Tangela was able to challenge almost every shot with her quick hands."

"After the first half and being down in rebounds we knew coming together and being more aggressive was the only way to finish. Ruthie helped us do that, especially with the spark she brings to the team. She hit critical shots as well as being a match up problem for Indiana. These last five games have brought a renewed confidece to our team. Our goal for the rest of the season is to win out and keep on playing hard and ready to play our game."

Ruthie Bolton
“Our record right now doesn't reflect how we are playing. The fans were a big part in helping us pick up the energy in the second half and helping us win the game. We kept fighting and got back on defense which made a difference in the game. Basketball is not a 35 minute game, its 40 minutes and we need to play hard for all of them."

"The fans were a big part in helping us pick up the energy in the second half and helping us win the game. They have been supportive all year and its nice to be able to go out and put on a show for them. If I'm out there on the court I know its to make a difference in the game. The coaches and my teammates have confidence in me to perform and I need to focus in on my game."

Coach Nell Fortner
"Overall I thought we gave a great effort. We made plays, but we just didn't make the plays down the end. You can't win a game when you don't play 40 minutes, and I thought that is what happen tonight. There was a three to four minute strecth where we just let our guard down. I also thought that Ruthie Bolton played a great game tonight; she is just a warrior. Overall I'm very proud of my team and their effort."

Tamika Catchings
“I thought we gave a great effort tonight, but we just couldn't finish it out. I also thought that Sacramento played great. When you have four players in double figures it makes it really hard to win. Bolton came out and had a great night tonight and that is something that you don't expect."

"I really just wanted to come out and play my game and do what I had to to help my team. It just so happens that we came up on the losing side tonight. I think that we are playing good basketball and right now that is what we want so that we can make a playoff push. McCray is playing great, she is doing what we brought her here to do and that is to play hard."
