UNC Head Coach Anson Dorrance

"We are absolutely thrilled to have not only captured the ACC championship but also to have scored some goals and preserve a shut out."

"We have had team chemistry this year and I attribute it to out great team leadership."

"What was neat about today was that rarely in a conference final do you get to play your entire roster and we did, every kid that we brought that wasn't hurt got to play. It's a wonderful thing to share playing time with all the kids who work so hard in practice."

"We are absolutely thrilled to be conference champions, and to have played everyone and to have scored some goals and to have shut out the teams we have played."

UNC Defender Leslie Gaston

"I am very honored to win the MVP, but I couldn't have done it without my teammates and everyone who surrounds me that makes me better, I congratulate them on that. Me winning that is an award for our entire defense."

UNC Defender Catherine Reddick

"It is great to be back with the team, playing for the National team was great, but I am very excited to be back with the team. We have great chemistry and it is great to be around them."

Clemson Head Coach Todd Bramble

"I would like to express my gratitude towards Florida State University, and their hospitality they have given us throughout the week. They have first class facilities and first class people and everything was just wonderful."

"I would like to congratulate North Carolina they are certainly deserving champions and I wish them well in post season play."

"Difficult to express how disappointing this is, it is hard enough to get to this point and once you get here to loose by that large of a margin is very difficult to swallow."
