I was really pleased with how well we competed tonight. I think this will help us continue to move up in the rankings. This will give us even more confidence to get to where we want to go.

We won't figure out our lineup until we get to Washington and go through warm-ups before the meet.

Right now, I just want the kids to be very aggressive and stay confident. Confidence is the uniqueness of our kids this season. I'm really pleased with what I'm seeing on their faces when they're competing. I have a lot of confidence in this team.

We put it all out on the floor and I really went after it. That was the second-place team in the country and we lost by seventy five-one hundredths of a point.

Ashley is doing a superb job. We do have to be careful with her ankles. They are fragile. And Lauren is going to be a great asset for us in three events.

It is going to be a learning curve mentally for mental toughness. But we have great leadership and great young freshman class, and the chemistry is really good.

The meet really looked worse than it was. We had to count a full point in falls, while [Stanford] had a perfect meet and beat us by four-tenths [of a point].

Nicole is one of those kids that's going to win many meets for us. She just wanted to do really good for the team [with Orlando out], and I think she got frustrated with herself. I just didn't want to see her take another fall on that routine.
