Head Coach Casie Maxwell

On Senior Day…

“The team put forth a good effort. TCU is a really good team. You know you've got to be at your best today, playing the No. 1 team in the country that’s been No. 1 all year. Our jumping seat team was fantastic. Really happy to be able to recognize our seniors and send them out on a good note. I appreciate everything that they've done over the last couple years.”

On her 94-ride…

“I knew that it was a big point. Every point counted, so I knew that I needed to have a clean pattern and give it all I had and push Teddy the most that I could. I felt like I did a good job of knowing his limits and making sure that I was putting myself out there to get a higher score.”
