QUOTABLE
"It means so much to get our first conference postseason win," Union Head Coach Mark Campbell said. "When you respect the process, for me, it's not about just winning, it's about us playing the best that we possibly can. We try to be the best family we can possibly be on and off the floor. I just want to see my kids be as successful as possible because I love them that much. Their hearts are so good and they love each other and you just want this to last as long as possible. It's a privilege to be in this league and to be in NCAA Division II, but after 16 seasons of coaching the thing that I appreciate most is watching my players play their best."

NOTABLE
Union senior guard Amy Philamlee surpassed 2,000-career points. She finished the game with 25 points. She also had seven assists and five rebounds.

UP NEXT
Union advances to the 2015 VisitSpaceCoast.Com GSC Women’s Basketball Tournament Final. The Lady Bulldogs will do battle against No. 3 Delta State Lady Statesmen. The Final is scheduled for Saturday at 1:00 p.m. (CT), at the Pete Hanna Center.
