We need to make sure we do the things we need to do in order to win. I think it should be a good match-up. The Big 12 is a great conference and anybody can...

She is a great player. She is a great pitcher and a great hitter.

That’s just something we need to work on. We talked about it at practice (Tuesday) and we need to make sure that we’re getting better.

Any win in our conference is important because it’s such a great conference. People aren’t necessarily expecting us to win; we think we can, but not everybody else does.

It was great to be at home. We had a nice crowd, and that’s nice. I was proud of our performance today.

I’m very happy. Any time that we’re able to hit the ball and score some runs, it frees up so many things and takes the pressure off.

Sometimes my pitching coach (Gary Hines) and myself are on different pages. He was a pitcher, so he likes to let them work through a few more things than I probably do. She threw really...

I think we’ll have a great game on Tuesday, and we’re excited for that.

(The double play) happened because of a mistake, but that’s still never giving up and always making sure the play is over and making the play if its there.

For us, I think what’s important is that we’ve gotten better. Every day we come into practice and we get better, and that’s our job. That’s our goal right now.

I think they feel pretty good. I thought they competed very well today. I thought they competed well over the weekend, and I look for them to come right back and have a good game...

I think Alyssa threw her best the first time, but I thought she threw spectacular the second time. That’s a great adjustment for her. It’s hard after all the hitters have seen you once.

My biggest concern is patience. I think it’s important for us to be patient and play pitch by pitch. The sport that we play is a sport of failures, and if you fail six times...

(The home runs) kind of opened the door a little bit more for us, and that’s what we want. We want to always make sure we have the opportunity to win the game. I think...

She’s kept us in a lot of games. She threw a great game against Houston that we lost, 2-0. She didn’t have her best stuff (against Texas State), but was still able to win, which...

After they got up early, we definitely didn’t quit. We kept battling back, and we were able to get some runs later.

She threw well. We got down and got behind, but she kept going out there and threw her game. I was really happy with her.

We didn’t swing the bats the way we should have, but we did have our key people up in the key situations, and we were able to score some runs.

I wouldn’t say it was a shock or surprise. I think that our conference is a great conference and any team can beat any team on any given day. We proved that we can play...

It wasn’t pretty, but at least we got it done, and I’m happy about that.

Cat is definitely a great pitcher. I think in the Big 12 there’s a lot of great teams. (Texas) is not even favored to win the Big 12 Conference.

I thought we played not good at all for the most part. We made mistakes, and they were big ones. If you do that, you’re going to lose, and that’s what happened.

I think we’ve done some good things. I think we’ve also had a lot of things that have happened that we can learn from.

I don’t know why we didn’t come out to play today. That’s definitely what it was; a lack of intensity. We as a coaching staff need to figure out what the problem is and not...
