“Last year, a lot of the games we loss were due to our youth. We've worked on the mental aspects of the game. A lot of the mistakes and inability to come through with the big hit when we needed had to with maturity.”
“The bar is set high. These kids are hungry. If we do what we're capable, we're going to be a team to reckon with. We have definite goals as a team -- win conference and go to state.”
“I'm very happy with what I saw from Jordan, especially with no walks. We have the defense, we just need her to give them an opportunity to win games for her.”
“Merrill had good pitching and hit the ball hard, and I was proud that other than a couple of hiccups we were right there. It shows a lot of respect for our program that they would come down and play us, and I thought we both got a good experience out of it.”
“We did a better job today of putting the ball into play. I think we've been doing a little too much waiting at the plate, and we've been trying to stress to the girls that if the pitch is close and they think they can hit it that they should be going after it.”
“We're going to make some changes. We had to shake up the lineup in the middle of last season and we went on a tear, and I think it's something we have to look at.”
