“A game like this shows what kind of team we’re capable of being,” said UC Davis head coach Jennifer Gross. “We’re a program that’s never satisfied with the status quo. We will take this and learn from it and build on it so we’re playing our best basketball in March.”
“This is really a great win for us and it’s the reason we play Stanford and Oregon and Gonzaga and teams like this,” Gross said. “We’re not just playing for the experience, because our program has reached the point where if we play well, we believe we have a chance to win these games. That belief really carried us when we were behind. We picked things up defensively, took care of the ball in the second half and hit some crucial shots.”
“Our goal is to put a product on the floor that people want to watch,” said Gross of her players in Sunday’s game. “It was really fun to get the win and see how many people contributed to this. Early on I felt like we didn’t have a lot of answers and they (Gonzaga) were hitting just about everything. But then we got going and it’s amazing what a couple of shots can do for you.”
