Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"When it's not going down you have to make a lot of plays. I felt like, other than our turnovers, our kids made some nice plays."
"We played hard and out-rebounded a team that I was very concerned about in that area."
"We are still mistake-prone and I think that was the difference in the game."
"I loved our intensity tonight. I loved how Joh-Teena (Filipe) looked tonight."
"Our two problems were turnovers and ultimately the ability to execute in that last two and three minutes. We just weren't ready for that yet. We still have a lot that we have to work on and it showed tonight."
"Their experience was the difference in the game tonight. Losing right now isn't our measure. We want to measure what we're doing and compare it to ourselves. In that regard, we did better (than against Gonzaga). Our young players will grow."
Utah Sophomore Joh-Teena Felipe
"We got a little too comfortable and were happy to just make the comeback and stop. We didn't work hard enough to win after that."
"We need to work on finishing down the stretch and making better decisions. This team needs to be more disciplined."
Fresno State Head Coach Adrian Wiggins
"I thought Utah did a really good job of fighting through our screens and made us knock down outside shots. They had a good plan, they made it tough on us and slowed the game down."
"We like it sloppy, but we couldn't get enough transition off Utah's turnovers. They did a good job of not giving us any easy buckets."
"We posted up our guard a little bit and that helped us get on a 9-0 run in the second half. I think both groups adjusted well, but at the end of the game we got stops, rebounds and free throws."
"She's a solid player for us; a senior leader." - On Chantella Perera
"I thought we were very composed. We haven't beaten Utah in 10 years, so it's a big victory for us."
"We lost some good players from last year and we've had to re-establish our identity, and we're doing that."
"I thought Tierre Wilson stepped up and hit some big shots for us."
