Silver Stars Head Coach Candi Harvey:
 “I’m proud of our bench. They had great energy. It’s not good ever for everyone to not show up and I don’t mean that in a negative way. Jennifer (Azzi) was unbelievable. It was a spectacular individual performance.”
On Semeka Randall - “Energy, passion, fire. She plays like she enjoys the game. She lifts everyone up including the crowd. I have respect for her whether she plays two minutes or twenty. She’s consistent."

Azzi:
 On Semeka Randall - "She did a great job. She had hustle plays and she never stopped playing. She brought great energy. I don’t know why we don’t play like that all the time."
On the team play - “I have no idea what it is. It’s all the little things that add up. It’s not talent or scoring ability; it’s things like defensive stops and getting back on defense. It’s not that complicated. We’re just not getting it done.”

Semeka Randall:
 "I’m not a superstar in this game. I just know that I play with my heart; it’s all I have control over day in and day out. I know what I bring. I can be sort of a leader on a energy level."
"I love my teammates and the coaching staff. You always have to stay positive in situations like this. We have the tools."

Head Coach Marianne Stanley:
 On another win - "Feels good. Feels real good. I’m just real happy for this team. This season is one where we’ve had to show a lot of character, and handle adversity.”
“In a lot of ways we’re a young team and so we’ve been working to pull together and now we’ve seen an upward trend since beating Seattle."
On Randall -
“Semeka was having her way with us. She plays so emotionally and physically. When we tried to help on her, Jackson was getting the weak side rebounds. We got a time out and pulled together to get a couple of stops and more boards.”
“The first five minutes of the second half, we were settling for jump shots. Our plan was to attack the rim and work outside. But in the first five, we were doing things backwards and that triggered their fast break.”
“I thought keeping our turnovers below ten was great and we had great free throw and field goal percentages tonight.”
“We have respect for this team. They’re similar to us in a lot of ways. They can be dangerous.”

| Chamique Holdsclaw:
 A win on the road is big. I think we kept our composure, poise and stepped up and made plays. “
“Everybody contributed tonight. We had three or four players in double figures and that’s what it takes to get a win.”
“We wanted to attack. To create a mismatch and get to the rim and we did that. I’m proud of my team for stepping up tonight."

| Coco Miller:
 We’re starting to do what we need to do. We’re staying calm even when teams start a comeback.”
“Chamique did a great job finding the open man through her double team. She’s a great player so teams are going to double team her and she’s used to that so she find a way to get the ball to the open player."
