Penn State held a banquet for Rene Portland. Suzie McConnell-Serio of the Lynx showed up to defend thank praise her former coach:

"My experience at Penn State was real positive. But nothing has ever been printed as far as the positive things I've said about Rene because the media is always looking for controversy. I have nothing but respect for her. She takes care of you. She fights for you. She fights for what she believes in."
