[Georgia] was strong. They had no mistakes, didn't have to count a fall and their momentum just built up their scores. |
A little shaky. It was really, really rough. We started out with such a deep hole. We had mistakes that were uncharacteristic. |
All in all they showed a lot of heart in doing what they did. |
Any time we beat a huge SEC rival it makes everyone feel good. |
As long as we start out and everything's consistent, that's where the results we're looking for are. If we're really great in one event and really low in another event, it can take the momentum away, and then you're trying to come back and build up what you lost. |
Ashley is much more consistent now and able to do more. |
I truly think the best test of any team is how well they do on the road. |
I was really excited about her performance. For her to come out there with three 9.90s, she really made it all look so easy. |
In gymnastics, certain things can happen, and as heartbreaking as it is to not qualify, you never know. But I can honestly say in all confidence that this team is performing the best they have since they've been here. |
It couldn't have been any better, and we couldn't have finished out our road trip in a better way. They were very comfortable on the road. They were very relaxed. ... It was just like we were at home. |
It really does make a huge difference if we have that support - fan support and as much yelling and cheering. It really makes a huge difference, not only in helping motivate and pump up our athletes and help their performances, but it also just creates an environment that's special to our athletes but also is intimidating to our opponents. |
It was not a surprise. Arkansas is an arena we're familiar with and these athletes are familiar with. |
It was wonderful to see they were very calm, yet so aggressive. |
It's a tremendous accomplish to not only advance to the Super Six but to place fourth, the highest we've placed since I've been here. |
Nicola didn't get the score she deserved. |
