Being ranked will probably prevent us from sneaking up on our opponents. But our girls will be up for the challenge.

It's nice to see the girls' hard work get recognized. Even though the preseason polls don't mean a whole lot, it does show that we are getting some respect.

Summer pitched great for us today. She is finally getting healthy and it is showing in her performance.

It's kind of been like this all year. When we come ready to play, we can win. But we'll do that one day, and the next day we'll have trouble.

They need to learn how to compete. That's what we're going to do.

This is an incredibly talented team. We have every element on this team. If we can come out with some fight and come out playing the way that we are capable of playing, then we will be virtually unstoppable. Now we just have to focus on that goal.

It was another very encouraging game. We played a strong game and look to do the same against some tough opponents Saturday.

Brooke (Boyce-Humbert) gave us a great effort today. She came out and competed well. She came back in the second game and gave us a great effort.

Both of our pitchers threw very well today. It's easier to get out offense going when our pitching is on.

We are still fighting through some injuries to our pitchers. Fortunately our offense stepped up in a big way.
