What they’re saying

“I'm still catching my breath! You knew Regina was not going to go away. There wasn't much time left and Katelyn (Harland) took it to the basket. That's actually her shot. She had to step up and she did. I saw grit, determination, belief in each other. All of those things that, going into postseason, you want to see. They were just having fun!”
