Offensively, we'll be good. One through nine, we have some solid hitters. There's speed at the top and bottom of the order and power in the middle.

I'm good friends with Lee Westwood. Bubba, Rickie Fowler. A few of the top hitters.

We're a different club. We're not as offensively potent as last year, but our pitching is more solid top to bottom. Somehow we found a way.

This one could put us near the top, and it could also lead us to the bottom, because right now, you never know what's going to happen (in the conference) on any night. And also, when it comes down to getting into the Big Dance, we could look back at this game and have a real quality win over a good team.

Lauren did a good job of getting the ball to the hitters, and we have such good hitters that (one need) just put the ball up there for 'em. And she does a good job.

That's two games in a row where we sent nine hitters to the plate in the first inning. That's one of the things I talked to them about ... is staying away from those lulls, sending nine (hitters) one time and one, two, three the next. We need to get to where we're consistent, but I can't complain. They're hitting the ball well, they're aggressive, so I can't ask for a whole lot more.
