COACH BRENDA FRESE: Obviously, the better team won tonight. And I thought Notre Dame just did a terrific job, really took advantage, especially I thought they set the tone from the first possession with the offensive rebounding, being dominant on the glass.
Obviously, we really struggled to be able to have an answer for Loyd and McBride. And they showed their experience, I thought, throughout this game.
But like I told the kids in the locker room, you know, we’re one of the last four teams to be able to play. When this tournament started, nobody counted on us being able to make it to the Final Four, and really when the season ends, only one team gets to end with a win.
So, I couldn’t be more proud of the ride that this team took us on to be able to go to the Final Four. And anything and everything that Alyssa has meant to our team and our program and to be able to bring her to the Final Four was a dream come true.
Obviously, we’re sad because we wanted to continue on playing for her, but you couldn’t coach a better person with everything that she’s meant to our team and our program.
