This place can be brutal for a woman. Maggie was the big sister they all needed.

This is a tremendous honor and thrill for me to be named the head coach at West Point. Maggie Dixon and I, and the staff, started something very special back in October. I embrace the opportunity to continue what we started and look forward to continued success in the years to come with this group of players.

I have mixed emotions today. Everybody here lost a great friend, a woman with tremendous character and a great role model, a young lady with a tremendous future.

Maggie and Erin have been a tremendous 1-2 punch and Taylor has stepped up to make some big shots. We're scoring a lot of points with our shooting and we've also been doing a good job forcing turnovers that have fueled our fast break.

Maggie really gave us a big boost. She picked up that third foul and I was a little worried about it. But we brought her in and she was instant offense for us. That's what seniors do.

She believed that Maggie was God's baby and was persistent that she needed to find a way to give her back to God. She tried to find a way to give Maggie back to the people in church to send her back to God. She was creating a new spirit and wanted to go to heaven.
