I think the biggest thing you think about Jaclyn is her ability to change a game with one swing of the bat. Thank God this year she’s been healthier than she has the last couple...

Our conference is so tough all the way through. You can’t look the other way, because every team is out to get you and capable of winning.

We just need to go out there and play our game, and not worry about how our opponents have fared against other teams. We will just take it one game at a time wherever we...

I thought we grew a lot mentally. We were challenged to make sure we adjusted mentally.

Every game out is going to be a challenge. There’s not going to be any easy, gimme games by any means.

I feel blessed to be here with you today to honor our loved ones. We forget that there are men and women out there ready to lay their lives on the line for us.

They are putting up better hitting numbers than they have in the last couple of years. They’ve really committed to that part of the game.

It’s something that we knew was probably going to be inevitable. We decided to give her the start against UNLV and let her get it out of the way and were able to focus on...

There is a lot of parity in this conference when you’ve got teams like A&M and Oklahoma. You have to watch your back, because they’re all coming after you.

You just kind of felt it in the air. I felt like when we got on base, we were bound to get it done.

Cat left a pitch over the plate. We’ve seen [Lake] plenty, we recruited her, she’s a great athlete. She’s going to capitalize on that, she’s too good.

I do think we feel pretty comfortable with a starting lineup at this point. The nice thing is that Shannon is versatile enough that you can put her at short, you can put her in...

Coach Looper is so great to have on this team. She is so good at working with the girls and bringing them to their full potential.

She had a great outing. She settled in to a rhythm and had a very good outing. In the big picture you always look at that. We didn’t get the ‘W’ but that was something...

All of our freshmen have been so great for us this year. They’re all playing like veterans out there for us this year, and that’s what we need.

It’s coming down to the final week, and we control our fate.

I think coach Hill has come in here and has been the ‘X-factor’ that has propelled our team to a new level. She has raised the team’s level of confidence, has always focused on the...

We miss Beverly terribly. But we are proud of her.

It’s a grind. With finals just around the corner and the World Series right after that, we have to make sure that we are able to sustain the grind.

We’ve got some good seniors who have been playing for a while now, and they’re the strength of our team.

We have team rules and every member of our program is held accountable for them.

It is so great that we have both aspects of the game working in our favor. It will be nice not having to keep too much pressure on either unit, although we would like to...

Cat is so important with the leadership and experience she brings to this team. I did think it was a huge milestone and going out and getting it on Saturday made it nice for her...

Early on, it was tough to find those players that fit the mold of our type of Texas player. These players fit that mold. They are the consistent piece.

This had that championship feel. This was a bit of a dress rehearsal for what we’re going to see the rest of the year.

The biggest thing that stuck out was the gritty performance.

The combination of having experience, very good athletes, and then [assistant coach Corrie Hill] being able to take us to another level are the things that we can most attribute to what we have accomplished...
