QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH JODIE SMITH
"I am really pleased with our play tonight, as we were able to do a nice job of moving the ball around and creating multiple opportunities. It is always great to play at home, and we picked up a big three points. Now it is time for us to rest up and turn around and play a very good Prairie View A&M team on Sunday."
