Three of those four girls are seniors ? and they just stepped up. It was just a clutch, big win for us.

You know, who cares about seeing the girls when everybody wants to see the band. That's what's important, KISS is important. I think we look great, and the attitude is there, and I'm real happy with it.

A couple of our girls wondered after the game why she isn't in track, because she got around those bases in a hurry and she wasn't going to stop. She hit a gap, used her speed and we threw to the wrong base. It was a mental lapse and they took advantage of it.

I think what makes a strong team is being able to have a group of girls where maybe not one of them is going to lead the all-around every single meet, but having that handful of girls like we've had this year that can really push on in a single event every meet. That's what we've been doing.

Both teams played a great game. The girls really turned the tide in the second half. We turned up the heat defensively which allowed us to cause some turnovers.

Last year I think it was tough on the girls and me because I was a first year coach. The first time I saw any of them was the first day of practice. I can kind of hit the ground running more this season. I think I am more comfortable around the girls and they are more comfortable with me.
