Andrea Duran plays great defense, is clutch up at the plate and with her speed, is a threat on the bases. We wouldn't be where we are this season without her. |
Andrea is our team leader in every sense of the word. She has great character, is a great performer and loves the game. Her performance this past weekend proves how special a talent she is. |
I couldn't say enough about her, ... Dodd's at her best at end of the year, when the games matter the most. |

I know it's good for softball to see a team other than UCLA win the championship, |

I want my team to be more detached from the wins and losses and be more focused on doing the little things well. When you focus on getting the win, it can suffocate you, especially during the playoffs when the pressure gets thick. |
I'm really proud of how she regained her composure. That's part of the game. Nothing's automatic. |
I'm so proud of this team. They knew there was still a lot of softball to be played and they've been through so much this year and built confidence in themselves. |
It's important that teams from other areas are competitive. |
It's very simple to explain the payoff. This team is trusting their plan through entire games. They're staying within themselves whether they have the advantage in the count or not. |
Losing our first game certainly isn't the road we want to go down. I'm hopeful my team comes out and plays like the way it did when our backs were against the wall so our backs don't have to be against the wall. |
Our bottom of the order was responsible for our championships the last two years, ... Historically, this year's bottom of the order is doing what UCLA teams always do. |
