We came out strong the first game and really dominated. The second game we lost focus and Sierra regained their composure, then we pulled together as a team in the end.

We just have to focus more on ballhandling in practice. There's a lot of things we need to focus on. But we'll get better each week. I learned a lot about this team, but I expected a lot of it.

They've been the strength of our franchise for years. We've really made them the focus of our franchise.

If you do your normal routine, you tend just to focus on that. You're not really thinking about (the test).

I was really pleased with our effort today, especially on the last four holes. Everyone stepped up at different times for us, but our work has just begun. We will work tonight on getting as fresh as we can for tomorrow and see what happens from there.

We had Katie (Ferguson) throw a lot before the game today because she needs a lot of warm-up, so I think she was getting tired in the middle of the sixth inning. It was a tough situation to bring Kate (Brown) into, but we got out of it.
