These games are very important, because they won't play like the bottom teams. [Rutgers and Villanova] always tend to have their best games against us.

They [the team] knows they need to keep their intensity high because when we don't play with intensity, we don't win.

I think you always feel a little extra pressure at this time, but I hope that at this point they want that pressure. As the going gets tough we get even tougher.

We tend to get too aggressive and pop up a lot. I want to concentrate on hitting line drives and hard ground balls.

We're not going to pitch around her, but we will definitely give her the respect that she deserves at the plate.

Right now the only thing I am concerned with is winning this weekend.
