Losing Valerie for four weeks will hurt; however, I still believe we will be OK. We have talented runners and good leadership on this team. This is still a top-ranked team.

Even when I was losing ... I still had the feeling that he cannot hurt me. Either I can win the match, or I can lose the match. Sometimes I was a little surprised at how slow he played the balls.

Once Wal-Mart is in full-swing, it will hurt even more. It's a challenging world, but we are doing well -- and we hope it stays that way.

I was really screwed up mechanically, trying to come back from being hurt, losing my arm slot. It felt weird to throw. I worked with Billy, and he really helped me get back in sync. My mechanics are the best they've been in a while.

Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways

Losing Samantha hurt, but we still ran our offense and had a chance. Sometimes when you lose the heart and soul of the team, everybody else picks it up and the girls did. The shots just didn't fall down the stretch.
