Their defense caused us to make a lot of turnovers, but I felt like we had come a long way. Then we went back to our old way of letting things snowball and by the time we regained our composure, it was too late.

Turning the ball over has been hurting us all year. We're young, we're inexperienced and it seems like we don't learn. We're not learning from mistakes and getting better each game.

I think our schedule does a great job in preparing us for the sectional. We're looking forward to playing schools our size. We've taken some lumps, but we've learned from our mistakes and we're starting to make progress.

Overall our defense has been a general constant for us. We've only given up more than 50 points in one or two games. Certainly, we could still improve at it.

Credit their defense. They were playing pressure defense and forced us to take some hurried shots early.

Our team is still based primarily on pitching and defense. This is just a bonus for us. We have the same philosophy that we've always had. Sometimes you're just able to hit the ball hard — and hit it in the air.
