I knew we were going to get games in and have guaranteed playing time. During the time there the girls were able to work together and be around each other.

Sophie was hitting her spots and set a good example with her senior leadership.

I was wondering how they were going to adjust to the weather.

The girls are staying mentally focused through the entire match and refusing to let a couple bad points or games destroy their confidence.

We're notorious this year for waiting until the end of games. In the seventh inning, the girls were determined she (Falcone) wasn't going to get them again.

The girls did exactly what I wanted them to do. I didn't want to go five games, I didn't want to go four. I wanted it in three. Boom, boom, boom.
