UNC Head Coach Anson Dorrance

"Obviously at this point of the year, it is all about advancing. It's all about staying healthy, and we're advancing and staying healthy. I'm thrilled with some of the things we did; everyone contributed tonight. In a tournament, you're going to have to win three games in four days, so everyone needs to contribute."

On tomorrow's game: "We're going to scout this game [FSU/Maryland]. Every team is going to protect some things well. We're going to see how we're going to play tomorrow by seeing who advances tonight."

UNC Goalkeeper Jenni Branam

"I thought I played better against Wake (Forest) than I did the last time. We stuck together; everyone on the field made a huge contribution on defense tonight."

UNC Midfielder Mary McDowell

On her assist to Lindsay Tarpley: "It wasn't skill, I just saw Lindsey on that play. She found the pass and put it in the back of the net."

UNC Forward Lindsay Tarpley

"Tonight was a good win. We came together as a team, and it was a complete team effort. That's what is so important for our team."

Wake Forest Head Coach Tony da Luz

"First of all, I want to congratulate Carolina. They came out super focused and raised their level of play from the last time we played."

"We saw it as an opportunity to play them with rest. This tournament is designed for their style of play. We were looking at it as an opportunity; we didn't capitalize on our opportunities."
