Gordon Eakin Quotations

No parts of our game were there today. It was a disgrace. This is our worst performance of the year, without a doubt. We weren't there mentally, we weren't there physically ? we were bad in every area today.

We are fairly disappointed in today's effort. Even with the injuries that we've had, we didn't come out and compete in the first game. I told the team that we can't 'turn it off and turn it on.' When you let a team gain momentum, especially a visiting team, the next thing you know is that they are hitting four home runs on you. I feel that that is unacceptable for the caliber of team that we have.

Last week's performance is as good of an offensive performance that I've seen as a coach.

Overall we played well today. It was windy and cold but we hit the ball well and Brooke pitched a great game.

We played great against Cal-State Fullerton. We got big hits in scoring situations.

We hadn't hit the ball like we could. We've done it three years with this group. (Thursday) was an awesome offensive performance.

We played a lot of players that we usually don't play because of injuries in the second game, but I'm disappointed that we couldn't pull of the second win.

We didn't play up to our potential in Hawaii. But, it was a good learning experience for our veteran team. Now they are more focused.

Today was one of the most impressive hitting performances I've seen as a coach. Even in the innings we didn't score we had runners on base.

When you give anybody a little bit of momentum, they're going to carry it through the game. I ran out of players and I ran out of lineup cards.

Finally. I think we were road weary the last couple of trips. We battled, but didn't come through like tonight.

We've been on the road for the last seven weeks and were a little road weary. This team is very capable of putting up big offensive numbers. If we hit like we did tonight, I think we are unbeatable.

We seemed to put together all facets of the game today. Our pitchers did a nice job shutting down a very potent Southern Utah offense.

This team knows they belong among the best teams in the nation now. They are fearless and want to show they are for real.

We weren't prepared to play. We just didn't compete tonight. I was very disappointed.

We got runners on base without a problem. We just didn't have any timely hits. If we would have got a hit or two with runners in scoring position, it would have been a different game.

We are still fighting through some injuries to our pitchers. Fortunately our offense stepped up in a big way.

Both of our pitchers threw very well today. It's easier to get out offense going when our pitching is on.

Brooke (Boyce-Humbert) gave us a great effort today. She came out and competed well. She came back in the second game and gave us a great effort.

It was another very encouraging game. We played a strong game and look to do the same against some tough opponents Saturday.

This is an incredibly talented team. We have every element on this team. If we can come out with some fight and come out playing the way that we are capable of playing, then we will be virtually unstoppable. Now we just have to focus on that goal.

They need to learn how to compete. That's what we're going to do.

It's kind of been like this all year. When we come ready to play, we can win. But we'll do that one day, and the next day we'll have trouble.

Summer pitched great for us today. She is finally getting healthy and it is showing in her performance.

It's nice to see the girls' hard work get recognized. Even though the preseason polls don't mean a whole lot, it does show that we are getting some respect.

Being ranked will probably prevent us from sneaking up on our opponents. But our girls will be up for the challenge.
