Maryland head coach Brenda Frese
On Maryland's defense during the game
"The exciting part is seeing where we're getting defensively, getting better and better every game. We went in at halftime and wanted to play with greater effort and I think you were able to see that. Our defense transferred to our offense."
On Ashleigh Newman tying the record for most consecutive games played at Maryland
"Ashleigh's fought through a lot of adversity and it's a great accomplishment to be proud of. With that many injuries in her career, her being able to start really speaks to her toughness and her heart. She's playing on a great level and comes out every day ready to play."
On Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper playing as a pair
"I really like where they are right now. They are doing a tremendous job with their leadership and their vocal spirit. They've been playing in sync for four years and they want to play with the best of their ability every time they step out onto the floor."
Maryland senior Laura Harper
On playing with Crystal Langhorne
"I know we make each other better. Her being left handed and me being right handed just works out so nicely and we both have our sides of the court. We just love playing together and it's great."
Clemson head coach Cristy McKinney
On Sunday's game
"Maryland's a great team. They have a lot of weapons. I just would've liked to have competed a little better. They probably get more work done in practice than they probably did today against us because I just didn't feel like we competed like we wanted to. I hope it's because we were in a little in awe and tentative. We're young and we don't have great leadership and it really showed today. Maryland's just so solid. They can pretty much counter everything that you try to take away."
On the inside play from Maryland seniors Crystal Langhorne and Laura Harper
"They're great post players. I think some games they don't get as many touches. Our post defense isn't very good, I understand that, but they got them the ball today and they did good things with it when they got it."
