"O'Rourke is just a great leader; Coquese is lucky to have her. Not matter what happened, she kept her team together. No matter how many runs we made or how many defensive plays, she continued to keep her team focused and ready to make that run. She is the catalyst."
Cynthia Cooper Dyke
Prairie View A&M Head Coach, 11/21/08
"Give Penn State a lot of kudos and what Coquese Washington is doing in her second year. You can stay in the ballgame as long as you have a point guard like they have in Brianne O'Rourke."
Gary Blair
Texas A&M Head Coach, 11/28/08
"I love Bri. She's just so tough. Everything she does is 100%. She goes so hard. She will leave her mark here too and will be mentioned with all of the great names."
