Samantha was phenomenal. She's done everything for us all year, and I'm really proud of her effort.

Sam has been phenomenal for us. She's an all-around great player.

Everybody thought they would run all over us, but I knew we could run with them. It just came down to fatigue at the end. They have a deeper bench than we do.

Samantha is such an unselfish player. That's what makes a good player great — making everyone around her better.

When she takes it strong to the basket, she can score on anybody at anytime.

It has been such a joy to work with her. When anyone says anything about Sam, I just smile inside. She's a great person to be around. She really cares about people.
