The mystique of this game ... its just been eerie around here all week. When we beat UCLA, you just knew it was going to happen. This feels like that.

Digger Phelps

It felt like the whole season came down to that last 30 seconds. We needed to stay aggressive and not foul. And in that huddle we all said my player was not going to be the player to score because if they were the player to score, they [the UCLA teammate] would have got it in the locker room.

Nikki Blue

The coaches basically put a blinder on us. As we get higher in the schedule, we know UCLA is a good team, and it only gets harder. I like playing better teams.

When I went to UCLA I was young, just 18 years old, ... I had an idea, but now that I'm older and really got to the know the playbook, coach Riley's scheme and everything has worked well for me.

Matt Moore

Knowing that our team is better, and having confidence in our team right now, we don't really think too much about the losses that we have against UCLA. I think every year we're going to go at them as if this is our first time playing them.

Lynell Hamilton

UCLA is always tough. It's going to be our first time on the road. It's going to be tough but we just have to prepare and get rid of the mistakes that have been hurting us. We need to have a good week of practice and just get prepared the best we can.

Sonny Shackelford

My agreement with UCLA did not require me to do any reference checking whatsoever.

We were very happy with how our team kept fighting during this game. The squad showed a lot of heart against a very dynamic UCLA team on their home field. Erin McLeod was spectacular for us in goal, but it was our total team effort that won us this victory tonight.

Paula Wilkins

I'm not happy at all. I'm still thinking about those games against USC, UCLA and Stanford. For 30 seconds after the match I was satisfied. After this interview, I'm back to work.

Richard Corso

He does have a degree from UCLA. He's not only educated, he's intelligent and he's learned a lot over the years. So he has been a great help.

George Peters

UCLA are undefeated national champions and Stanford were last year's runners-up so they are definitely favored to win.

UCLA is a very tough to face, but one we are all excited to play. I know the girls are ready to give them a battle and come out with a victory.

I kind of just take it one step at a time. When I got into college and once I got to see that I could play with the guys at UCLA, I started to get better and more confident with what I could do and see what it took to be at that level.

Jimmy Conrad

Playing in a conference like ours, you need to always bring your A game. If you don't bring your A game against UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, really anybody, you'll get beat.

John Rittman

I played four years at UCLA but I didn't think (women's) basketball was going anyplace at the time.

Tom Cable

Maybe things are a bit magical for us now. We haven't been on a four-game winning streak since (2001) and we hadn't beaten UCLA since then, either.

Jimmy Killian

Mike runs good routes, and he's always making the big play, ... He pulled down a few high balls I threw last week, and made it look like nothing. I've played with some good receivers at UCLA, but Mike is in a class all by himself. He's a real classy, quiet Oregon guy. He just takes care of business.

Matt Moore

Coach [John] Wooden used seven players at UCLA. Coach [Denny] Crum used to say, 'The more moving parts you have, the greater the chance you have for a breakdown.' I think there's a lot of veracity to that.

Skip Prosser

This weekend will be a good test for our team. We need to beat squads like San Jose and Cal Poly. If we play with intensity then we should be able to compete with UCLA as well.

Steve Rianda

There's no doubt the excitement of L.A. is a big draw for some athletes, especially those from overseas. They know UCLA. Just the name conjures up images of palm trees and Baywatch and all that good stuff.

Carrie Forsyth

This victory was a tribute to the heart of our team and our tenacity. We learned from some of the mistakes we made yesterday (at UCLA), won some close races and were a little more focused and tough.

Lea Maurer

Last year, I went to the UCLA-Illinois game and didn't like the environment. It was quiet. The students weren't into it. There was no enthusiasm, no atmosphere. But I went to the Ohio State-Iowa game. What a difference. It was a great atmosphere. Iowa City was crazy.

Garrett Edwards

There are so many great teams in the Los Angeles area, ... After I retired (from UCLA) and got into coaching club diving, it was like starting from scratch. It's harder to get back on top now, the sport is so good.

Dennis Taylor

I don't think we played our best. We were losing gaps and we were allowing the O-line to get to our linebackers. So I think we can correct some of those things and get a lot better when we play UCLA.

Manase Hopoi

About 150 years ago it was time to talk about UC Berkeley and go Bears. About 100 years ago it was time to talk about UCLA and go Bruins, ... Today is the time to talk about UC Merced and go Bobcats.

Charles Ogletree

Brett and Russell had a great game against UCLA. They've put themselves in this position. They're too good to keep off the field.

It's a big weekend, a very competitive weekend. After a little disappointment down in L.A. (against UCLA and USC), we look at this as an opportunity. And now we are ready to compete and defend Mac Court.

Bev Smith

It's not turning out how I wanted. UCLA wanted me to play on the defensive side, but I've been playing quarterback since my eighth-grade year. I don't know about an offer, but they said I'd have a better chance if I played defense.

Kiran Kepo'o

I don't care how good or bad a team is-you can't take an opponent lightly. You can't say, 'Hey we're playing No. 3 UCLA this week, so let's get fired up for that,' but whistle it back to the grave when you play Santa Barbara. That'll kill the team.

Richard Corso

UCLA had three weeks to get ready. You can't change your whole base defense, but you can put in some new looks. They were shifting a lot right before the snap. But when you've played together like we have, you develop that communication. We eventually figured it out. And we were already moving the ball anyway.

Ryan Kalil

It's always a good weekend when we play the Arizona schools. We need to focus on our game and do the little things that make up UCLA softball.
