Associate Coach Rich Conover...

On tonight's defensive effort:

"The first 20 minutes were absolutely fantastic. [Assistant coach] Nikki Scholl had a great scouting report and the players defended their places very well. We lost focus a little in the second half. Army wasn't doing anything different than in the first half, but our plays weren't working the way they did in the first half. As excited as we were about our defense in the first half, it left something to be desired in the second half. We talked about at halftime that Army was going to come out and put some points on the board. We didn't necessarily think it would be 38 points, but they're too good a team to hold down for 40 minutes."

On guarding Katie MacFarlane:

"We did a nice job on MacFarlane, particularly in the first half. She was a big part of their run in the second half and she did have a double-double, but she wasn't able to dominate the game at any one point in time, and we were very pleased with that."

On fending off the Army run in the second half:

"Their full-court pressure and our inability to run some clock and run our plays let them get back in the game. It kind of looked like we were the team down by 10 or 12 points."

On the play of Binghamton's post players:

Our players inside did a nice job. With the injury to [Nicole] Dypolt, they will need to find their roles and be ready to play increased minutes."

On upcoming game against Albany:

"Albany is a scrappy team and they use a very effective full-court pressure. We'll have to play ver well to get a win."

Junior forward Leala Wegwerth...

On team mindset with injury to Nicole Dypolt:

"We know that we'll miss Nicole, but we're mostly concerned with being there to support her and make sure she's handling everything okay. She's a great leader. It's hard for her, but she's still up on the bench and supporting us. We know that she'll have surgery and do her rehab, and she'll be stronger than ever next year."

"Our post players are doing a great job right now. They know that there are a lot of points and rebounds that they need to make up for and I think tonight they showed that they can do that."

On holding off a second-half rally by Army:

"We used some full-court pressure but they played very intense and we got a little flustered in the second half. I give Albany a lot of credit. They worked hard and got back into the game. We were able to pull through. We had some foul shots late in the game. You feel the pressure a little bit, but you have to go up there and just make your shots and not think about it."

On the upcoming game against Albany:

"Every game is so important in conference. We know that anyone can beat anybody on any given ngiht and we remember from last year that one game could make a big difference in the standings. We know it will be a tough game against Albany."
