Graduating from the School of Commerce and finishing in the top ten in her graduating class is nothing short of spectacular.

I think they've done a great job, just learning the philosophy of the program. At the beginning of the season, we wanted to get 30 wins, and we still have a legitimate shot at that.
|
I thought we were a little flat. I don't know what energy I thought we'd get playing at home, but it wasn't there.
|
It's nice to start the season with two wins and it was very pleasing to come from behind and win. I was pleased with our defense and thought our pitchers were competitive. Our hitters were anxious early on, but started to settle down in the fifth inning of the second game.

Jessica is the true example of a Virginia student-athlete. Her passion and love for the University of Virginia and the softball program is unmatched. Her leadership will be greatly missed when she leaves.

Sara has battled through adversity and has provided our program with the passion that is needed to play at this level. She has left her mark on the program in the record books and will always be mentioned when people talk about the Virginia softball program.

She's been dedicated to her mechanics. She's been throwing the ball well, and she's been a big bonus for us.
|
She's been hitting the ball since November. She knows what she's doing when she gets in the box, and she has a high level of confidence.

They have a good offense so we'll have to contend that with much better defense.
|
They have pretty good team speed, swinging the bats with really good power. They rely on scoring a lot of runs. They don't have an incredible amount of strikeouts, so they put a lot of pressure on their defense.
|
They're a complete team. They've won some games and they've got some consistency and that's exactly what we want.
|
They're a huge power-hitting team. They have an exceptional number of strikeouts, so they're swinging big.
|
We don't seem to do that on a consistent basis. It's not one part of the lineup, it's a different person every time. [We need] the consistency of getting the two out hit or the hit with the runner on second or third. Until we can do that we'll have 2-1 or 1-1 weekends.
|
We got great pitching all weekend, and we feel like we can win a lot of games if we can do that.
|
We have been able to put pressure on people, and we've never been able to come through with that big hit when we needed it. Taylor got up there and stepped up with the triple, and that was huge for us because that was something we've been preaching and preaching and finally somebody did it and it takes the pressure off of everyone else.
