"It's nice to get that award. Everybody likes when you get a personal award and I'm happy because I spent a lot of time working all summer and it paid off."

"It would've been nicer if we had won to finish off the season. As a player, I always want to make my team win, and we unfortunately didn't win the Pac-10 [regular season] championship. But I think the season was pretty successful, as all throughout the season we played well as a team and I feel like I helped the team play well."
