This will be their first-ever meeting as head coaches.  Smith on the Matchup with Staley:  “I’m sure she and I will exchange some banter back and forth from one bench to another, but it will be fun. She’s a great competitor, and she will have her team ready to compete and play hard. She’s a great friend, a wonderful coach and an even better person. I’m looking forward to matching up with them on Wednesday.” Notes (In 140 Characters or Less):
