That first game was a really tough loss for us, and I knew I needed to step up with a strong performance. Every time I go out there I want to throw all nine, that's definitely my goal.

Ultimately, the seven of us felt responsible for that loss. After the game, you could tell by the way the coaches were acting toward us that they knew we were responsible for that loss. We had to win [Saturday]. There was no way about it. That was a championship game for us. We absolutely had to win that game.

The Marion County loss was a roll-over effect from the Florida tournament. We weren't loose or ready. Once the weather warmed up, we relaxed and buckled down. We began to play through mistakes.

This was a hard loss to swallow. We really wanted this game and we felt we had a chance to win it.

It gets frustrating sometimes, especially after a loss like this where you know now you're pretty much out of it. But you have to just keep your head up and play like you want to win.

It's very frustrating after tonight's loss because it seemed like we gave this game away,
