"Paul A. Esden Jr. (@BoyGreen25): 11,021 fans were in attendance on Sunday. The previous record was 4,367. It seemed like the increased advertising campaign heavily contributed to the final results. We talked before the game, how surprised were you at the final metric?"

"Brian Higgins (@BrianHigginsSU): I knew going in there would be a record crowd for sure, but 11K more than pleasantly surprised me. 7 or 8 thousand would have been quite impressive so to see what a crowd that big for women’s basketball in the Carrier Dome can look and sound like was a lot of fun. Full credit to all involved in marketing and ticket sales for the game, and it was great to see people not just show up but really get into the action."
