"UConn had a really good game. They really came out and had that fire today, a lot of motivation," UCF head coach Tiffany Roberts Sahaydak said. "I thought we fought to the end. I just think some days things don't always go your way, and today was one of those days. I'd rather it happen today than later on. We can keep this feeling fresh for when we go into the conference and NCAA Tournaments. It will definitely be motivation for this team. I always think there is a silver lining. I'm an optimist. So I think we'll learn from this and be a better team for it."
