After the game Head Coach Bruce Robertson, commented, "Game one we came out hitting the ball very aggressive and we stayed up and motivated it was a very solid game for us. Avery pitched well enough and we gave her the run support she needed. Game 2 we made 3 quick errors and allowed 6 runners to score. Olivia did not have her best game in the circe but we cant make that many errors to a good team that early in any game and expect to win with any pitcher. We turned the ball back to Avery but we dug ourseves to much of a hole. We tied the game at one point but was not enough get the win."
