bit conference five games graduated graduation growing guys lost missouri pitching ready seniors sort taking three trip
We graduated so many seniors that this is really a young team. We're going to take our lumps just because we're so young. We've got new pitching because we lost five pitchers. We lost all three catchers. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains, and that's why the trip like the guys are taking down to Missouri is very important. They're going to get a lot of games in and we can kind of sort things out a little bit to try to get ready for conference play down the road.
develop example game games great hard improve perseverance summer worked
It was a great example of perseverance on Sara Jensen's part. She has worked very hard over the summer to improve her game and develop confidence, and she has had some outstanding games for us this season.
bats beat close games gave guys league played position swinging wayne
I thought we played really well all day long. To play them as close as we did in two games gave us some confidence. Wayne is 19-1 in the league and we were right in position to beat them twice. We had some guys swinging the bats well.
knew middle miss needed stay
We knew we were the underdog. We knew we needed to stay with them early. They didn't miss early, they didn't miss in the middle and they didn't miss late.
early easy good job maintain playing road start tough
We started really well. Playing on the road isn't easy and getting a good start is so important and we really did a good job early on. We didn't maintain the intensity, but after a start like that, it is tough to keep up that level.
anyone beat best good inside outside played seen teams
If we had played our best game, we probably still wouldn't have won. As long as they have the inside and outside going like they did today, I don't know if anyone can beat them. UND has had a lot of good teams over the years, but I don't know if I've ever seen a better one.
easy free hit lead miss point shot three
Miranda hit the three free throws, and they go down and miss an easy shot to end the half. That was a pretty big swing. An eight-point lead at that point in the game, with the way things were going, was pretty nice.
bats behind close decent game nice played swing
We did swing the bats pretty decent in game one. We played from behind but were able to make a nice comeback. The game was close for most of it.
baseball beat good runs win
We beat a good baseball team. It was a win we needed. We got the runs when we had to get them.
darn defense good hold nearly night played points team
We played pretty darn good defense all night long. You hold a team to nearly 20 points under their average, you've got to be doing some things right.
defense four hopefully key next ourselves reminding win year
We had our chances. We're not getting the key hits. Overall, for four games, our defense was pretty steady. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that we are real young and are going to take our lumps. Hopefully next year we can win these (close) games.
ball crucial errors hit
We had crucial errors and we mishandled the ball and they just hit the ball better than we did.
hard hits scoring time
We didn't get a lot of hits and didn't get a lot of scoring opportunities. When we did get runners, we had a hard time scoring them.
job nice pitching save throwing trying
We're trying to save as much pitching as we can. He did a nice job of throwing strikes.
