It's not good for the girls to have to suffer through games like this. It's hard on them and it's hard on me.

We're happy to get a win. The girls battled against a good team. These are the kind of games we need before the tournament. We got behind and came back. The girls now know they can do that.

The girls really got a chance to bond on this trip. And that's the theme for us this year, unity.

You've got the holy trinity of what a girl wants, she said. Cute, smart, funny. I don't think you realize that.

The girls are staying mentally focused through the entire match and refusing to let a couple bad points or games destroy their confidence.

We're notorious this year for waiting until the end of games. In the seventh inning, the girls were determined she (Falcone) wasn't going to get them again.
