Our defense was key - Natalie Hackett had three big catches to save us runs in both games. Our pitching was not as sharp, but it was good enough to keep us in the game.

The things we've been doing well, we didn't do well today. The defense wasn't as solid and although we put a lot of people on base, we couldn't get the big hit when we needed it.

Our pitchers were great today. They put the ball over the plate and we played solid defense behind them.

This was a good way to end the tournament for us. We were very aggressive at the plate. Everyone got a chance to play. We got outstanding performances from both Lauren (Hyland) and Val (Hackett).

Chris Twitty hit some huge free throws for us, obviously. I thought our defense stepped up in the fourth quarter and did some good things.

If our pitching and defense can keep us in ball games and we use our team speed and timely hitting, we could get some wins early which will help our confidence.
