Head coach Jo Evans
On the Aggies' offensive struggles…
"Kelly Maxwell is a good pitcher, no question about it. What she threw didn't surprise me, but what surprised me was our lack of discipline. We got ahead of ourselves, but it's a sign of a good pitcher. I think we had the opportunity for a lot more walks, even though we had five, but then we could have created some more pressure on the defense."
Senior utility player Makinzy Herzog
On her progressive performance in the circle…
"I think part of it had to do with the weather and some nerves. I wasn't spinning it well in the beginning and commanding it in the zone very well, but as the game went on, that all got a lot better. I definitely had a lot of walks, and that's something I've been trying to work on, but it's just important that when you do get those walks, to go after the next batter and I think we did well with that, and my defense played well behind me."
