We're going to have to get our bats alive like we did against UNLV. We've got to have the same kind of attitude we did in that game and jump on (Sacramento State) early.

We'll still be trying to get a feel for things this weekend. We worked on a lot of our communication problems in practice. I think we're getting closer to a starting lineup, but this time we're going to see better competition-we're going to see if we can do the same things we did right last weekend against better teams.

We looked at too many strikes and just didn't have the pitch selection (on Wednesday). Against Sacramento, we've got to swing at our own strikes and not the pitcher's strikes. We've got to be willing to swing the bats. If we do, we'll be fine.

Our team is way too good to be having two or three errors in a game. We should have just three or four for an entire tournament. Our goal is always to play errorless softball and I'm hoping that the things we did this week in practice will make that happen.

Kristina did great and our defense was good, but our hitting was just disappointing. We had eight hits but they were scattered through seven innings. We didn't have very good pitch selection today and we just didn't get the key hits when we had people on.

It's going to be a learning curve. We've got to roll with the punches. We are going to get better and learn from our mistakes, but I think our offense is really sound and we have speed and power. We don't have a lot of flashy players, but we've got a lot of workhorses, and now they have to believe in their roles and stick to our plan.

We should have been out of there in five. We just weren't focused and I was disappointed by the effort. We talked about how important it was to stay focused for games during the week and we just didn't get that kind of effort for whatever reason.

Kelly just had more success against Arizona. I was trying to match up the best pitcher against the type of team that we were facing that day, so I decided to start Kelly.

We are disappointed. It was just two teams that didn't want their seasons to end, and I think that's why it went on for so long.
