Lonni Alameda Quotations

As a team, we had a little higher expectations coming in. But we've had to look at Plan B. We've tried to evaluate performance rather than wins and losses.

Dealing with adversity is something you just can't coach or teach. You just have to deal with it. In a way, it's been nice because we're all learning and growing. Once we got past the stage where we were making errors, we started to understand what we are capable of doing. There's always a chance.

Against (eighth-ranked) Texas A&M (Feb. 25th), we were in the hunt and playing decent ball. But we lost it in the bottom of the seventh on a three-run homer. That was a heartbreaker.

It's the job of the coaching staff to turn that into a positive. We're in this for the long run. This isn't a sprint; it's a marathon.
