California was an interesting experience. We had people playing out of their normal positions, not to mention an infield that was almost entirely freshman, besides me. The big thing about the trip was how the newer girls showed us a lot of what they are made of and played really well, even though they haven't played at a college level yet. |
It was an interesting experience for us. We had a lot of young players who hadn't played at the college level before, and it was definitely something different for them. We also did a lot of bonding as a team and that really helped us because a big majority of our starters were new. |
It's important for me to step it up as a leader this year because we have such a young team. I want to be a good example for the younger players by demonstrating a good work ethic and determination. |
That game was a huge win for us. It really got our confidence up because we were able to rally and win the game. Those kinds of wins have such a positive effect on the team because it brings us all together. Everyone on the team played well that day, and it showed with the victory. |
We really had a great time. The whole team felt included and a part of something and that is the real purpose of these trips to get the team on the same page for the regular season. |
