Winning our first four MAC games was very important not only to set ourselves apart from the rest of the conference, but also in the East Division.

Gina has been undoubtedly one of the best players to come through Bowling Green and also to play in the MAC.

My son's in Senior Kindergarten and it's happened before, when the bus was delayed. I figured they were just going a little bit slower.

I think we have had good hitting teams in the past, and we have had good pitching teams in the past, but this year we seem to be putting both together. Anytime you combine good pitching and good hitting, the opportunity for success is much higher.

Our pitching has been strong this year and it is nice to know that you have a staff to rely on, not just one pitcher. When you have strong pitching and good defense, it is easier to win games. To now have our offense wake up will be very good for us.

Our offense knows it has struggled lately, but we're still of the opinion that seeing good pitching on a consistent basis by playing such a tough non-conference schedule will continue to make us better for our MAC run.

We will take wins, any way we can get them and as much I disliked being behind in those games, I'm very proud of our team for continuing to fight and their never-say-die attitude. It would have been very easy to fold up the tents when we were down by six, but they just kept battling. It was a courageous effort, and one that we should keep in the back of our mind the next time we're behind.

Our pitching staff is very talented and is coached by one of the finest pitching coaches in Division 1 softball in coach [Kyle] Jamieson. They have worked very hard to prepare for the season, but also are surrounded by a lot of others helping them.

It was unfortunate we made a couple mistakes in the third inning. Errors happen in a game, it was just too bad the errors we made were all in the same inning.
