ball fence good happens hit swing
She put a good swing on it and that's what happens when there's no fence out there. She hit the ball hard.
ball hit needed somebody step
She hit the ball hard. With Sophie (Berman) out of the lineup today, we needed somebody to step up and Kelsey did that.
beginning defense good pitching staff
The pitching and defense have been very good all season. We thought at the beginning that we would have a good pitching staff and good defense and they've done very well so far.
defensive effort intensity proud
I thought our defensive intensity was very good, especially in the first half. I was really proud of our defensive effort tonight.
comeback foul good help middle shots sure
That didn't help. We were in the middle of a comeback and that foul sure didn't help things. But we got good shots after that, they just didn't go in.
ball concerned keeping lauren
That ball was really tagged. I was concerned then about Lauren keeping composure, but she bounced back just fine.
ask
Like I said, you can't ask for anything more than that.
capable changes fine good job point running second
I think Eryn did a good job in the second half. We'll be just fine once we get used to the changes we have to make. Eryn is capable of running the point and will do a good job for us.
advantage against chances good scary team
We had our chances and that's scary against a good team if you don't take advantage of those opportunities. You usually don't get very many.
behind board defense early helped nice plays relax relaxed second settled
We got on the board early in the second game, and I think that helped to relax Bethany. She got relaxed and settled in and the defense made some nice plays behind her.
good half shooting tough
We had a tough first half shooting and we had some good looks. They just wouldn't fall.
anywhere beat break good north regional teams thinks win
I don't know if you get a break anywhere. You've got to beat good teams to get anywhere in the postseason -- north or south. I know everyone thinks we got a break but postseason is postseason. If you don't play well you're not going to win a regional anyway.
care concerned
I have to be concerned about that. We have to take better care of the ball.
kids quit stuck
The kids stuck to it and didn't quit on me. That's the most important part.
