COLORADO
Head coach Nicole Kenneally
On the match:
“We knew we were going to have a good battle on our hands. We had a victory against them in the regular season that was  a really tough, hard-fought win. We knew that that’s what it was going to be today. They definitely played better doubles against us today than they did in the regular season.  The singles was just like that as well.”
 
On Oklahoma’s facilities:
“The facilities here are great. I think, overall, indoor and outdoor, they are the best in the Big 12 right now.”
 
On Friday quarterfinals matchup versus Nebraska:
“We’re excited about that. We actually played them on Sunday and lost to them, so we’re looking to rebound from that and advance another round.”
 
Senior Franziska Jendrian
On the match:
“In singles, I played really well.  I got out there, played my game and adjusted to the wind. It was very close first set. It was very important to get the set and keep going and keep the momentum. That’s what I did and ran with it, basically, and closed it out in the second set.”
 
On Oklahoma’s facilities:
“They feel like they’re new. They have a lot of grip on them. Running on them is great. There’s not a lot of counting errors. I like them; it’s easy to play on them.”
 
KANSAS STATE
Head coach Steve Bietau
On the match:
“Disappointing -- is the biggest thing. Colorado handled us pretty well the first time around and we felt like playing outside would help us.  I feel like we’re a better team than when we played them before. Unfortunately, we just couldn’t get much done today.”
 
On Oklahoma’s facilities:
“Oklahoma’s done a great job. This is one of the premier facilities in the country.  We’re fortunate to have something like this in the Big 12.”

MISSOURI
Head coach Blake Starkey
On the match:
“I thought both teams battled really hard. You always get that with Missouri and Kansas, so they really brought it after us hard. We were very fortunate to get the doubles point and then, going into singles, I thought our team really stepped up. We’ve had a couple tough losses lately, so this is a great way to start.  Tomorrow, we’ve got Baylor and that’s going to be a challenge for us. But, today, we’re very happy with what everyone just did.”
 
On Oklahoma’s facilities:
“The Big 12 Conference office in Dallas always puts on a great tournament. This improvement that Oklahoma has is off the charts. It’s an amazing facility.  The indoor facility added on with the outdoor really makes a big, big difference.  This is probably one of my favorite facilities in the Big 12.”

Sophomore Mallory Weber
On the match:
“We were really pumped to get out here and play our biggest rival in Kansas. For us to go out there and win 4-1 was a big accomplishment and we’re really happy that happened.”

KANSAS
Head coach Amy Hall-Holt
On the match:
“Missouri’s a good team and they won it out. We put it out there and it was a hard-fought match, but Missouri pulled it out at the end.”
On the environment and Oklahoma’s facilities:
“Definitely, its a great environment. The facilities are probably top in the Big 12. It’s great to be here.”

OKLAHOMA STATE
Head coach Julius Lubicz-Majewski
On the match:
“It was tough. We knew it was going to be tough. Iowa State moves a lot and we took that game seriously, take all the girls very seriously. Right now, the Big 12 is very, very tight.  All the matches were close. We expected a tough match. Windy conditions, warm weather -- you could see it was a long match. There was a third set in almost every match.”

On Friday's quarterfinal matchup with Texas A&M:
“It’s going to be tough. Texas A&M plays outside all the time and they play in the winds. I think if our girls are healthy, we’ll give them a hard time. “

On Oklahoma’s facilities:
“I think its beautiful. Congratulations to OU and the athletics director. Beautiful facilities, it’s really nice. It’s good we have facilities like this in Oklahoma and, of course, the Big 12.”

Senior Maryna Tkachenko
On the match:
“We won doubles. I think we won because we speak the same language, so we easily communicate. Unfortunately, we didn’t play as good at the beginning of the season since we just got to know each other. I was ready mentally and physcially for my last Big 12 tournament.

“In singles, I just won the first set. In the second set, I don’t know, just lost control and patience. Third set, I just pulled it out because i heard somebody screaming, ?we need you, so come on!’”

IOWA STATE
Head coach Armando Espinosa
On the match:
“I think we fought very hard.  My student-athletes came out and just showed a little more pride in singles than they did in doubles.  Doubles was a little flat.  But, overall, I’m very pleased with how the season went.”

TEXAS TECH
Head coach Todd Petty
On the match:
“It was tough. OU has a superb team, a young team, a talented team. Coming off a 6-1 loss to them a couple days ago, it took everything we had. They pushed it to the brink. Something the girls worked and earned today.”

On the Friday quarterfinal matchup with Texas:
“We played them earlier in the year, lost 4-3. It’s a very, very good team. Always been a good team. We can go out there with the mindset that we have nothing to lose. We’re going to try to suprise somebody tomorrow.”
