Up until that first game today, we were struggling.

I still juice today. Ha ha, so I know it's important. We need whatever help we can get our hands on, so we can keep ourselves healthy, so we can function flying all the time while traveling to different places.

I've always been a defensively-minded coach and we aren't going to get any better than we are right now. So now the focus is on scoring runs. As I told the girls, today was a good day for us because we played well. We're attacking each team with the idea that we can win at least one.

This was the first game we really executed defensively. We also had some timely hits late in the game and scored a couple of more runs when we needed it.

We're a young team and there are only 12 girls on the roster. We're learning on the field and off and we're going to make young mistakes.

He was a handful today. He's got excellent size as a shooter. He's also athletic and can beat you off the dribble. ... He's a very good player and he hurt us.
