Quote from UCF head coach Todd Dagenais:

“SMU can put up some scary numbers offensively when they are in rhythm,” Dagenais said. “Caroline Young could very well be the top player in this league individually. She can score, she can block, she can really do a lot of things and she’s somebody we have to keep an eye on. It would be a mistake to just focus on her though because they have a lot of ways they can attack you. They have good weapons and we have to find a way to go on the road and put our best match together against them.”
