Coach Mike Daher's comment on the game, "I have been telling our players all season long that the way we are capable of hitting the ball that we are never really out of any game. We were down seven runs after the second inning and had our backs to the wall, but I felt once we got our bats going, we had a chance to come back in this one. We were really facing a tough time as our cleanup hitter Laila Murray was injured in the second inning and had to leave the game. With one of our big bats Laila being out it really put a lot of pressure on the rest of our girls to hit. But so many of them came through with some really big at bats and we kept battling back until we were able to tie it in the fifth and take a one run lead after six innings. I could not be prouder of our girls for not putting their heads down and for battling back the entire game. And the one who really battled through tremendous adversity was Ana Glemser who found herself pitching in a game with a seven-run deficit after we were a little shaky on defense early in this game. But we were able to tighten up our defense and Ana pitched scoreless softball the rest of the way to pick up a hard-earned win for the Bucks."
