That will be something new for Eddie, to go and watch a team that actually wins, or at least doesn't choke in grand finals.

She got a lot of really good experience traveling and playing tougher competition. But it's really a blessing that she came back and played for us her senior year. I think she's really glad she came back out, and we are too.

We had a really good day. Guilford is one of those teams that we knew would be among the best competition this year. We came out on top on all five. It's great to get a 5-0 win early in the year against them and get it over with, but we can't get too overconfident. Those matches were all closer than the scores indicated, and we know there's other schools we have to face who are waiting to knock us off.

There's a lot of pride at stake, even in our practice matches, ... I'm really impressed with how hard they are working. There is a lot of good competition at practice, and that helps us stay tough.

It was teeming with a diversity of life, with mussels, tubeworms, fish and crabs. Struggles for survival were playing out before our eyes. The incredible multitude of crabs in combat with each other for existence is an image I will never forget.

(Caulk) didn't lose a game the whole tournament, and that hardly ever happens, ... She has been really tough in the conference all year.
