He was the one who really made it fun for everyone. We thought this would be a great way to keep Danny around in spirit.

We had a talk, and she said that she's the senior and that she was going to step up. She sure did.

I'm really excited about this team. We're not old, we're not young. We're right where a program should be. And we're balanced. There's no real stars here, but when you put them all together, we're an all-star team.

We talked (Monday) about it being a new season from here on out, and I expect them to play like this from here on out.

Without all of the help, the tournament would be nothing. It was another success.

I don't care what the score was, Cecily gets that save. If a team like that gets a hit and scores a few runs, they're right back into the game.

Danny didn't care if he was getting the crap kicked out of him, still having fun.

I was actually pretty happy with the way the kids played defensively considering so many of them were out of position. I think it was just us trying to be aggressive at the wrong time. And, you know, we're a much better hitting team than we showed today, too.

Man, those one-run games. Somebody had to win and somebody had to lose. It's just too bad it's us on the short end.
