Terri Sullivan Games Quotations

Playing in the Big Ten is a lot of fun. The games are just so fierce and so competitive that you hang onto every at-bat as a fan, as a player, and as a coach. We're looking forward to it. We feel our team has grown through ups and downs in a very challenging February and March schedule and that's going to position us to do some exciting things in the Big Ten.

Record wise we want to get back on track, so we know the opportunity is there to play games and do something with them. At this time of the year we're looking to play as many games as we can.

Any team in the Big Ten will be a challenge for your defense and your pitching staff. Every team has an aggressive style of play. These games should be a lot of fun to watch.

Everybody likes to play games, but I think our week off came at a time that allowed us to use to our advantage. Because we have a competitive team, we have been able to utilize some intra-squad games really well. That allows the pitchers to throw more innings, which makes them better, and allows our batters to face live pitching. You don't miss a beat as far as the feel of the game that way.

Claire continues to get stronger as our season progresses. She is really throwing good pitches and a good mix of pitches. No matter what, to win two games in a day against the same team is a great accomplishment. She's our horse, the leader of our staff and we're really proud she's grown during the season.
