Yvette Girouard Great Quotations

I was very proud of the team this week. I was kind of concerned because they knew they were getting some time off and I didn't want them to look ahead. The team and the coaching staff are going to get some rest this weekend. It comes at a great time with the stretch that we are about to encounter.

We are very excited about playing in a regional-type atmosphere against a tremendous Alabama team this weekend. This appears to be the most balanced Crimson Tide team that we have ever seen. We expect nothing but their best shot and are looking forward to a great series.

They have a great pitcher. She's had two good games against us this year and their shortstop made probably three run-saving plays.

It was a productive day at the ballpark. After a shaky beginning I thought we settled down and played some good defense. It seemed like we had a mini-hangover from last night and was very uncharacteristic of this team. We have a great opportunity early in the morning to play another very good opponent.

It's always been unbelievable when we play here. When you match up this game day atmosphere, a regional-type atmosphere, with one of the best programs out there it is great for college softball.

It was a good job by Dani for a few innings and then a great job by Emily. Killian made a great play at the end that helped keep them from scoring.

It was a great day offensively for the Tigers. We absolutely swung the bats like I know we are capable of doing. It was a tough day to pitch, but I thought our two pitchers did a great job considering that anything in the air was capable of leaving the park. It was a great day for us, but not good softball conditions. It was just a matter of survival, but I thought we played well.

It was a great sweep for the Tigers. We did what we intended to do for the weekend. The team hit the ball extremely well all weekend. The pitchers did a good job in tough conditions.

It was a complete day for us at the ballpark. We had a great opening win. Emily pitched very well and the team responded. They came out clicking on all cylinders and shut Troy down.

I like the way we look right now. Our leaders are starting to step up their play. Emily was lights out again for us. Dani had her change up working well again. It's great to see both of our pitchers perform so well because we really do believe we have that 1-2 combination but it's just been a little lacking. Once Dani is back on track we should be really tough to deal with.
