(Braverman) is returning as a three-year starter. Anna is very solid as a catcher and is really emerging as a leader. Last year she hit .300 for us.

Bobby (Hughes) has been a solid four-year starter for us. He has been through a lot, and was a great leader.

We lost five key starters from last year, but return some key position players.

We have much higher expectations this year. Our skill level is improved from last year, and if we start putting in the effort we could have a great season.

Megan had been a starter for three years but halfway through this year she's been coming off the bench. Megan gets in there for her defense. We really don't ask her to score. But, tonight, we needed it.

(Jones) felt like a lot of times he had to be Superman ... because he was the only returning starter.
