On how the Sting looked:
�I thought, for us, we looked like a team that had a lot of new players and hadn�t played together for a long enough period of time. We have a lot of work to do. I think once the season starts, we�ll be ready.�

On what her team needs to work on:
�Basically, we (need to be) playing better defense, transition defense. We gave up a lot of easy baskets in transition. Stuff that we said we didn�t want to happen. Offensively, we just need to get in sync and learn to play together.�

INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM

JESSICA MOORE
On returning to Connecticut:
�(Returning to Connecticut to play professionally) is a really fun experience. Seeing a lot of the same fans that UConn has. It was just a lot of fun to come back here to Connecticut and play in a great town like Bridgeport.�

On playing first game in WNBA:
�The beginning was rough because you have to get used to what you can and cannot do. As the game progressed I felt more comfortable playing.�

JANEL MCCARVILLE
On playing against former teammate Lindsay Whalen:
�It was fun. This was one of the first times that we got to play against each other and I�m really looking forward to playing against her the few times we do in the season.�

On playing in her first professional game:
�I was a bit nervous. The first couple minutes I got (my nerves out).�

SHERI SAM
On what she thought about today�s game:
�It was a good test. We got a lot of players out there still trying to make the roster. It was a good test for our team to see where we are. It was a good measurement.�

On playing against the Sun for the first time since the Finals:
�When we shook hands with players like Taj (McWilliams-Franklin) and �Kesh� (Nykesha Sales) at the beginning of the game, it brought back a little Finals memory. I�m focused on the season now and the team I�m playing with now.�
