Terri Sullivan Time Quotations

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.

At the time we made an announcement, we said we were sensitive to dealer concerns and that we would make modifications, ... The dealers were pretty direct in indicating they didn't want the manufacturer going into the retail business, owning dealerships 100 percent.

The team is really pleased. We knew coming into the weekend these wins were critical in the conference race. Every game at this time of year in the Big Ten is a dog fight. I believe the team is in the right frame of mind at the most important part of the season.

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.

Iowa is traditionally a stronghold in the Big Ten. I think there's no better time to play them. We felt good coming off the wins against Loyola. You can't pick and choose who you're going to play. You just have to win each inning.
