Washington Coach June Daugherty:
"I think we played really hard. We were able to get into a situation to get into overtime. Unfortunately, we turned the ball over a couple times and didn't get the stops, and that was the difference in the ball game."
"Lindsey (Dion) did a good job of finding openings in our zone. I thought she played with a lot of guts and courage. In the past four years, she has been the heart and soul of this Ducks' team."
"We anticipated Oregon playing at home the way they always do. Their senior class has been Pac-10 champs and to the tournament numerous times. They were able to step it up big today."
"It's a tough loss things just didn't go our way. We are going to get back into the gym and continue working hard everyday to get ready for our last five Pac-10 games
Oregon Coach Jody Runge:
"Angie [Wolvert] played well the entire game. She played tremendous offense and defense and held the fort down for us. She said, `Get on my shoulders' and made things happen."
"We were sick of losing, and we weren't going to lose again to Washington."
"After Cal we were sick and hurt, but we knew we were also sick of losing. After WSU we knew we were not going to lose again at home, and we would do whatever we had to win. We defended well, and didn't let them get to the three-point line."
"Alissa Edwards did a tremendous job offensively and defensively, she didn't let anyone get a look at the basket."
"This is an important rivalry for us. Not being able to sweep the California schools or Stanford ... we got tired of it."
"They can see the light at the end of the tunnel. With a couple of days off, that will give us time to get over some of our sickness and get on a roll and win two on the road."
