She's tough. She has improved so much behind the plate. At the beginning of the season she was at shortstop, and we made a few changes defensively and one of them was putting her behind the plate.

We've just had spans like that all season where we couldn't score. It's tough when you fall behind against any team, but when you get behind against Chesapeake they understand who is supposed to get the ball and when they are supposed to get the ball. And they know how to manage the clock and play team basketball and run their open post offense.

Lehmann, Kahn and Hildebrand have all improved this season,

Alicia is just like Elizabeth in that she has great command of her pitches. She works the corners really well and she throws a good rise ball.

The season has been going really well for us. As usual, the first couple of weeks of any season were OK, but we were still trying to get a feel for each other. We were trying to find out who was going to play where, but since we have figured it all out we have been playing really well. We have been hitting the ball pretty consistently.

We knew they have a quality pitcher. I knew they had the potential to be a good team as they played Sacred Heart tough before falling 4-1.
