Terri Laux Quotations

We learned this weekend that you have to be consistent by doing the little things and focusing on the process. This year has been like a ride on a roller coaster, and it's important for us to be consistent and better every inning.

Once again we're not getting it done offensively for whatever reason. I don't know if it is a matter of the kids pushing too hard and just trying too hard. We have to try to find our confidence somewhere in our hitting and avoid that snowball effect.

We're looking to do the same thing that we do every time we play by coming out, playing hard and competing. It's human nature to accept a challenge. We look forward to these games and we have a lot of competitors on this team.

We made a point to tell our players that everyone is beating up on everyone and that on any given day a team can make a run. These were big games today but there are still eight games left and we just need to be consistent.

We have another 24 hours for her to feel better before the game, and we will go as far as we can go with her this weekend.

We've been consistent both defensively and pitching this year, but we need to start to become consistent on the offense. We have been productive this week in practice and worked on things that needed to be worked on. Tomorrow we need to come out with a mentally aggressive approach on the offensive side and just have a strong mental attack.

We need to have a different offensive mental approach and start to go after the pitcher. There are no easy games any more and we need to treat these non-conference games as important.

We need to get something going on offense. We are pressing too much. I thought Amanda Pick threw a pretty good game. Indiana found a few holes here and there, but we just didn't help her offensively.

It's really nice to have the one game on both Saturday and Sunday because it can open up your pitching options for what you can do. We should be well rested with us not having the strain of playing two games on back-to-back days.

Today did not go well for us. We lost two very important games but you have to give credit to Miami. They came out there with nothing to lose and swung the bat very well.
