This is an extremely competitive conference, and on any given day, any team can win. Last year was upsetting because we are a much better team than our record showed. We have a great batting average and an excellent work ethic and attitude.

Oil Park is close to campus, but cosmetically it isn't the most attractive. However, they do a great job of preparing the field and making it ready to play on.

Our freshmen have the ability to make some waves this season.

We only have 12 players this year, and they can all play different positions, but no one needs to get hurt.

Knowing it was Senior Day, Nicolle was emotional in the locker room before the game, but after she hit some shots and got her rhythm, she got that swagger that had been missing for the last few games. When she hits shots from the perimeter like she did today, it makes us a better team.

It was sore that day. Then the next day I went and got my knee checked out, and it was perfect.
