With the other batters stepping up, it's allowing for everybody to get good pitches, and [our opponents] are not pitching around people. It's also good knowing that if I'm struggling this weekend, the other hitters in the lineup can pick me up. That's a good feeling.

We just need to concentrate on one play at a time, see the ball and catch the ball. I think our defense needs to step up a little bit, and we need to make timely plays. We weren't making those, and we made a lot of errors this weekend. ... We've just got to put it together ... and keep it going for the rest of the game and close it out.

This year, we're focusing on our small goals. Our small goals are to win every at-bat, win every pitch. To win the SEC, we're not looking ahead from game to game. ... We're not looking for the next two weekends, but we're looking at [Alabama] for the next two days, and we're going to push hard and try to beat them.

Stacey Nelson has definitely stepped up, and she's proven a lot in these past couple games, especially with her big win against Michigan. Stacey Stevens has come out and thrown the ball a lot better and will make a big impression for our team and against our opponent in the SEC.

Definitely, [the win against Michigan] proved that on any given day we can beat anybody. Beating the number one team is a great feeling, and hopefully we're going to have a lot more of those great feelings this year. Michigan is an unbelievable team, but we are too.
