QUOTES OF THE NIGHT:

Head Coach Lynne Roberts

On Cameron Brink’s performance: 

“I thought she did a good job to be honest, she was more comfortable out there than I anticipated her to be, just because [of] how long she's been out, and coming in mid-season's hard. She was active… [Cameron Brink]'s got a lot of stuff that she could be doing, but basketball's her main thing, that's her passion, and it's an emotional moment when you've been out for 13 months, and you finally have the uniform on, and you're gonna get to play. She loves basketball, so she's finally getting a chance to be out there, and be with her teammates that she's been watching for 13 months, and I think that's her happy place.” 

Rae Burrell 

On her season-high 17 points Tuesday:

“I feel like the team did a good job in just preparing me for coming back, and I feel like I didn't really have much of a time where I [felt] like, ‘Oh, I'm out of breath…’ I just try to bring the same thing every night. I try to bring in some energy, whatever the team needs me to bring and whether that's getting offensive rebounds, being aggressive on offense, defense, just whatever the team needs me to do… I'm just gonna play hard regardless, so I just felt like I was just being me tonight.”
