Quotes by Terri Laux
I'm disappointed with the fact that we didn't show up to play today and we weren't clicking on all cylinders. We've played against tougher teams this year and you just have to go out and do the same thing which you have been doing for x-number of years.
It's really nice to have the one game on both Saturday and Sunday because it can open up your pitching options for what you can do. We should be well rested with us not having the strain of playing two games on back-to-back days.
Once again we're not getting it done offensively for whatever reason. I don't know if it is a matter of the kids pushing too hard and just trying too hard. We have to try to find our confidence somewhere in our hitting and avoid that snowball effect.
You're always looking forward to start your season at home. There is a certain comfort level when you play here, and we need to go out, be consistent this weekend.
Our approach and intensity level has to be consistent on a daily basis and I think that we are going to see how the team's psyche is in this week's games. I told them after the game that all is not lost and we just need to take care of our business.
We need to get something going on offense. We are pressing too much. I thought Amanda Pick threw a pretty good game. Indiana found a few holes here and there, but we just didn't help her offensively.
We need to have a different offensive mental approach and start to go after the pitcher. There are no easy games any more and we need to treat these non-conference games as important.
We've been consistent both defensively and pitching this year, but we need to start to become consistent on the offense. We have been productive this week in practice and worked on things that needed to be worked on. Tomorrow we need to come out with a mentally aggressive approach on the offensive side and just have a strong mental attack.
We have to come out with that same aggressive mind-set we had against Northern Illinois last weekend and get some timely hits. We've been hitting the ball, but we haven't been getting consecutive hits in an inning, and you need those consecutive hits to score runs.
We learned this weekend that you have to be consistent by doing the little things and focusing on the process. This year has been like a ride on a roller coaster, and it's important for us to be consistent and better every inning.
