Recap |  Box Score |  Notes

SDSU coach Mike Guliano:

On the team's play: "All season long we played safe, and until 20 minutes were left in the second half, they didn't have a shot on goal. So even though they had their share of the possession, we still keep things safe in front of the goal and that was exciting.

"I continue to just love the way we organize defense and play high pressure in the back and it works for us."

On how he likes SDSU's chances against Utah: "Utah is a very composed side and we're the new kids on the block when its about dreaming about the NCAA tournament. They've been there just last year. We had an even game with them last time. We hope to stay with them but they are the ones that have experience so we'll see if we come out nervous or not; we'll see."

On if the girls were tired: "They know that it is the end of the career for six seniors if we lose and I think that that energizes you in a way that the fatigue of back-to-back games can't take that away. I felt that the energy was just fine tonight."

Air Force coach Marty Buckley:

On teams play tonight: "First off, we were flat after last night as far as emotions are concerned. I think we were a little bit drained. Second half was a lot better. If we were to play both halves, I think it would have been a different game. We gave up that early corner kick and that just killed us. It causes our team to try and come back and we did that too many times this year. We can't give up an early goal and try to come back; that's just not our style.

"I am really proud of our kids; they did a really good job at the end there."

"We have a lot to build on, but it was a good run."
