Duke Head Coach Joanne P McCallie responding to what the team can learn from this victory, "Tonight,. . coming closer to attacking for 40 minutes - that's important to get the intensity and the focus. . .We've seen that high-low game open up with Elizabeth and Ally in particular. Our multiple defenses that we play got a lot more multiple. Again, I can't stress enough where Ally was playing. She was playing guard spots and doing a great job with it and really disrupting what people could see. So our big lineup, our tall lineup I should say, our long lineup was extremely effective. And Chloe and Chelsea are very adept at swinging in and out of the guard lineup versus a larger lineup. So I thought we got a lot better in our versatility overall as a team."

Opening statement by UNC Wilmington Head Coach Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, "We got outplayed today. We got outplayed by a very good team. We didn't play well, we didn't rebound well, and we didn't shoot well, and so we got beat by a lot. I think we were out-performed in every aspect of the game. Forty turnovers against Duke is not acceptable. We just never showed up."

On whether or not she will continue to schedule multiple ACC opponents in the coming years, "Oh yeah. We're going to reinforce the troops and come back next year and try this thing again."
