A proud Mulkey opened up on Morrow’s playing style that distinguishes her from the rest of the players, and fans couldn’t have been happier for the team. “Being Aneesah, she’s done that the whole year,” Mulkey stated upon being questioned about what Morrow had done well in this game. 

Mulkey further added: “She’s an undersized post player that can take you off the dribble, she leaps out of the gym, she can take it and shoot it from the three. She just can finish and when Angel picked up the fourth foul, I thought Morrow was pretty good on the boards. I think she walked that one time down here but she got up on that rebound and she’s… she’s quite a player.”
