We've been struggling a little on offense and she just stepped up and hit the ball well against the better pitching down here.

We left runners on base in a few innings, but we kept it close in every game. It was great to play at a high level.

We wish we were off to a better start, but we're playing better teams. We hope we can do what we did last year.

We won't play like we need to win (to make the NCAA tourney). We'll try to play with heart. We'll leave everything out on the court.

Through the past few games, this team has definitely come together. When I was a freshman, that's what happened when we were playing. Our seniors stepped up, and we definitely came together so there are similarities.

We've proven we can play in front of big crowds, and we're going to have to do that in our next three road games.
