Arizona State head coach Jay Santos
On the team's performance today
"Overall, it's better, but we're still giving away a little too much. There are little things that we've got to keep cleaning up. We were definitely capable of doing more today that we held back a little bit, but it was an improvement. If we can get it moving a little bit, I think we'll be in good shape."
On how the wrestling match going on alongside affected performances
"I think it just adds a lot of energy. There's always something going on. Somebody's making noise, whether it's us or them. I think there's that little extra bonus from something going on. The crowd's up and there's no real break. The girls really enjoyed it and we think it's a good atmosphere."
On preparing for Utah
"We need to work on our landings. We weren't very sharp on a lot of our landings this week, so we have to find ways to land a little bit better. We need to stop giving away those attempts. We are trying to put a full lineup with confident routines so that we can get rolling with momentum into the back part of the lineup."
Graduate Morgan Wilson
On scoring 195 for the first time this season
"We're definitely happy that we improved from the past two weekends. We have a lot more to show, but hitting a 195.000 is great. I'm excited for us to get back in the gym and keep getting better."
