Freshman Kealia Ohai:
"As a freshman, I came in and wasn't sure what this was all about. But the pride that this team has just to be Tar Heels and to wear the Carolina Blue is just amazing. Even in just my third game and being a freshman, I still had just so much pride to be a Tar Heel."
"I think coming in as freshmen, we knew we had some huge, huge shoes to fill. We lost so many girls to the pro league and so there was a lot of pressure and we really stepped it up."
"It was really hard not having them (Ali Hawkins & Rachel Givan) because they are two huge starters and leaders on this team and they are awesome. So it was hard for us going into this game but we knew we had to step up in other places and I think we did."
Head Coach Anson Dorrance
"It's ridiculous that we are the No. 1 team, we put six or seven girls in the pro league. So I have no illusions about where we should be ranked."
"In the national championship game last year we had four kids on the field tonight who played in that game and Stanford had eight. So I love my young kids. A bunch of freshmen and sophomores played tonight and played well against a wonderful Stanford team and fought tooth and nail for 110 minutes."
"To be completely honest, I thought Stanford controlled the first half completely. But I genuinely believe that was a mistake I made. We were trying to find a way to replace Ali Hawkins. The mistake I made was leaving Ranee Premji on the bench and I should have started her at attacking center halfback."
