41 Quotes by Yvette Girouard

The defense was there, but we just never got the clutch hit all weekend. We out-hit almost every opponent and lost three games. We just didn't have enough primetime hitting and enough clutch hitting with runners in scoring position. The team played hard, but it just didn't happen today.

We had a few key hits and Emily shut down a very potent Alabama offense. There is no question that this is the most balanced Alabama team that Patrick Murphy has ever had. I'm very proud of our team.

What an incredible honor, not only for Emily, but also for our program. Emily deserves all of the positives she is seeing in her performances because she is literally the hardest working athlete I have ever coached.

We are very excited about playing in a regional-type atmosphere against a tremendous Alabama team this weekend. This appears to be the most balanced Crimson Tide team that we have ever seen. We expect nothing but their best shot and are looking forward to a great series.

The team was very confident in the dugout. We weren't getting many hits, but they kept saying they were seeing the ball. The team has been pumped to play this game since the season started.

Quinlan almost hit one, Soto almost hit one and then Klein finally got all of one.

They have a great pitcher. She's had two good games against us this year and their shortstop made probably three run-saving plays.

This is what we needed to do today. We were really focused at the plate in the first game and late in the second game. It's fun when everyone gets their feet wet and sees action in the game.

It was a productive day at the ballpark. After a shaky beginning I thought we settled down and played some good defense. It seemed like we had a mini-hangover from last night and was very uncharacteristic of this team. We have a great opportunity early in the morning to play another very good opponent.
