Comments by Storm Head Coach Patricia Huisinga after the game: "I am very proud of how my guys are playing basketball. We are a very unselfish team that is improving practice after practice and game after game. We are beginning to play fantastic team defense and move the ball well on offense. We need to polish a few of our rough spots, but they are simple fixes."
"I'm excited about our defense, in particular, right now. By playing good, aggressive team defense, we are causing a lot of confusion for the opponent and creating a lot of turnovers. That is especially important in this league, because of the 3D bonus. Our defense is also giving us momentum and helping us get into a good flow for our offense."
"We have a very deep and talented roster. On any given night, any of our players can go off and score a lot of points. In fact, in the six games that we've played, thirteen of our guys(out of 16) have scored in double digits at least once. This is a testament to our fantastic team chemistry and unselfish play".
