Head coach Jo Evans
On the poise of Emiley Kennedy in the circle…
"I thought Emiley (Kennedy) was outstanding today. She was phenomenal and she kept the ball on the ground. She did a great job when she got herself in some trouble, and she got herself out of it. Emiley was the poised freshman out there that wasn't rattled, and I'm just really pleased with her."
On Mayce Allen's pinch-hit home run…
"I'm really proud of Mayce (Allen) and especially coming off the bench like that. Mayce could have been checked out in the dugout at that point and she wasn't. She came out and was prepared for that moment."
