I'm really, really excited and honored to up for this award ... What an incredible opportunity this is, to be around so many great athletes in all the different sports. It's an honor to be nominated with Candace Parker and Rachel Dawson for college female athlete of the year. This has been a great year for me and this certainly ranks up there as a highlight. But it's also great to be able to represent Virginia Tech one more time. 
A lot of us have just seen history. You're going to see more because Candace Parker is very, very good.
Candace Parker has the three ingredients corporate marketers crave: credibility, charisma and character
The Storm got different players from teams to make it a dynasty and L.A. got Candace [Parker] and has Lisa [Leslie], but I wouldn't count us out
It's not many times you look at the stats and see two players (nearly) averaging double-doubles ... That tells you a lot. Lisa, to me, is absolutely back in tip-top shape. Candace Parker really is a versatile talent.
She's what you call a trooper ... She had 32. I can't wait until she gets a little sleep.
Honestly, it was just finding the mismatch ... My teammates did a great job of just getting me the ball and just moving afterwards.
She's the money player ... Put the ball in her hands and she did what she's supposed to do.
Coming out, I just wanted to play hard. I was a little nervous, and I think my teammates did a good job of just keeping me in it mentally and just not allowing me to get frustrated.
I had the opportunity to play with the national team in college, which helped me ... Now, it's just getting adjusted to the schedule and taking care of your body; Lisa and DeLisha stay on me about lifting.
