This was Cori Close's presser after UCLA defeated Arizona.  There is very little about Stanford--only the last question touches on us, partly because we had not played at the time this press conference was held and so UCLA did not know whether they would be playing Oregon or Stanford.

Close, however, is much more willing to share the details of strategy than Tara is.  Close's discussion of how they defended Loville, for example, saying she is a "lateral glide" player and "sticking a hand in her face accomplishes nothing," that instead you have to "crowd her space."  I just found it interesting that she would reveal key details about the scouting report.  Maybe because they expect never to play Loville again!
