chance far hard mold players positive practice team work
We are still very young on the team. We've had the chance to mold the team the way we want to, and so far the players have reacted in a very positive manner. They come to practice and want to work very hard every day.

It feels very good to be in charge of your own fate. I'm glad we put ourselves in this position so we are not fighting an uphill battle right now.

I guess it feels OK to say we hung with the No. 21 team in the country. But I feel if we would have brought our game, we could have beat that team.

attitude ball field further great heart help huge talented team
It was a great feeling. The never-die attitude was huge and the team showed a lot of heart, which can take us even further than our talent. We are a talented ball club, but the heart we've showed on the field is only going to help us.
bounce good great innings pitchers scoring support team
It's always great to see your team be unfazed by big scoring innings and be able to bounce back. It was good for our pitchers to know they could get support from the offense. That's something we haven't had in awhile.
amazing gotten mean people small symbolizes ten trying
It's amazing how many people know what I mean when I say you get the Big Ten backpack. They haven't gotten their Big Ten backpacks, and that's what they want to get. It's something small and minute, but it symbolizes what you've been trying to do all year.

I think we had a good taste of what it takes to be successful. For six games and winning a tournament -- they got a big mouthful of success.
earlier lacking last mental season weekend
I think what got us done earlier in the season was more of the mental approach. That was something we were lacking in. Last weekend we were much better with our mental approach.
game learning lose straight teams tournament turn win
I think it was a big learning experience. When you go out and win a big tournament and then turn around and lose to teams you are straight up better than, I think you get a sense of having to play your game every time.
