We have our scouting reports, but I expect that the pitching will be better. They come out, and they swing the bats. They are a great program historically.

(The Trojans) are a very exciting program to watch. We are going to have to tighten up defensively. We can't make very many mistakes.

The thing about our sport is you have to turn around and it's a new game. You can't live in the past, you have to learn from your mistakes and keep moving.

Alana is a very gutsy player. She has done a great job this year in the outfield, and I expect her never to let anything fall. She makes big plays and has done a good job at catching things in front of her and diving for balls that aren't.

She probably could have played the second game, but since it wasn't conference play, we decided to give her a break.

Obviously, being an all-conference player, she is invaluable to our program. She brings an energy to the team that keeps us together and the game intense. She is a very seasoned ball player.

We have been working really hard since the first day of school. We are just ready to go out on the field, win some softball games and be very competitive.

They come out and they swing the bat. They do a great job at hitting the ball when a pitcher makes a mistake.

You have to get all your tournaments in before the Sun Belt. The warm weather allows us to play as many games as possible and gain good experience.
