Head coach Andria Harshman spoke about the gesture after the game saying, "Tonight was a really good opportunity for us as a program to step aside from ourselves and look at supporting someone who has been battling cancer. Jan's battle with this disease has been going on since 2009, and it was an honor to be able to share this match, and this memory, with her and her family."
