2000 Final Four “I remember arriving in Philly to the TV cameras and the kids with signs, and thinking, wow, this is the real deal! We were treated like superstars! You dream about that one shining moment ... and we had it, it was ours and no one can ever take that away from the 10 of us. It’s fun every year to go to the Final Four and see the previous years’ banners hanging from the current arena. When I see the Philly Bell, I know that we were there, Penn State Proud!” -Maren Walseth

“The memory that keeps coming to my mind is at the Final Four banquet, they gave us chocolates in the shape of Liberty Bells. I was seated near Rashana Barnes and the player on my other side (I won’t mention any names!) said something like ‘Oh, my bell is cracked.’ Rashana and I both looked at her wondering if she could be serious, then realizing that she absolutely was! She had no idea the bell was cracked, and just thought she was getting a misformed piece of chocolate.” -Jen Price, Assistant Coach
“The moment I remember most is when Helen, Dre and I stood on the court in the First Union Center, looking at the seats filled with the Liberty Bell seat cushions. We were all thinking back to the time our freshman year when we went to watch the Final Four in Cincinnati and set our goals on reaching our own Final Four one day. At that moment, one of us asked if it was all worth it and if we could do it again? We joking said that we wouldn’t do it ‘all’ again, but it was worth it.” -Marissa Graby 2013-14 Penn State Lady Lion Yearbook
