QUOTABLES FROM HEAD COACH BRENDA MOCK KIRKPATRICK
On the Selection- "We are excited to see where the committee will send us tonight, but regardless we are just as excited about winning the conference championship and the regular season title. That truly is an indication of how hard these girls have worked to climb bit by bit from the bottom of the conference in the 2012-13 season to the top in such a short amount of time."
On the First Round- "The coaching staff will be working at 8pm on our first round opponent and we are more than honored to be a part of the selection show and the round of 64!"
