In the postgame, Terps head coach Brenda Frese discussed the team's effort and performance in tonight's victory;

“We’re playing really hard every possession. Obviously defense is something they’re really prideful of, and I love the ownership that they’re taking on both ends of the floor.

She continued, stating, "I thought defensively, our effort was really strong. Winning every quarter, just that focus and never taking your foot off the gas, and just every game, growing as a team and being able to see how unselfish we are."
