Vanessa really came through with a good game here. It's a good boast for her. As a senior I want to see her do well.

It was a good defensive performance, a good pitching performance. We came out and got the early lead and the girls just relaxed. We played well. Hopefully it's just a sign of things to come if we play defense like that.

Alexis really came through the last three or four games. She continues to have quality at-bats and she continues to have confidence in herself, which is important for her.

They played solid today, we definitely hit the ball well. Last year we didn't hit the ball in this tournament, we just got a little lucky, this year we hit the ball well.

Vanessa was throwing really well coming into the game and we wanted to see how she would handle a game against this kind of opponent. But when you have a young pitcher and don't give her the confidence that you will make plays behind her, it gets rough out there.

Vanessa pitched a solid game using a good curve and did a good job moving the ball in and out.
