Some kids think, ‘If I score enough points I can get into the lineup.’ She got in the old fashioned way. She just worked really hard at all the other things. That’s why she is a starter.”— UConn coach Geno Auriemma. “They were leaving me quite wide open at the beginning of the game so I just took the shots. I had the confidence and my teammates had the confidence in me. And they went in. Hopefully I can stay consistent with the 3-point shot, We have a lot of great 3-point shooters on the team. Adding myself to that is really good for us. I just have to keep working and just practice, practice, practice.”— Muhl.
