Quotes by Marissa Chovanec

“Yeah, and I will continue to watch them play on TV. Their abilities and their leadership will be missed, and its not that you can say they will be replaceable, because they wont be. Sam was that way, and Angela is like that candle. They light it for the younger players to learn from for years to come.”

“I think anytime you play at that level, its going to carry over. Along with Angela and Kelly, you know, we have eight seniors who have experienced that and nine kids who havent. They will be able to share that experience and help them realize what it will take to get back to that point.”

“Our defense and pitching was where we needed it to be.”

“We hit the ball well, but scattered them around too much. We never could bunch them together enough. Kelly pitched very well.”

“It was nice to see some sun. I have no doubts that better weather will be just the tonic for this offense. We moved the ball well and our execution overall was good. Better weather makes everyone looser.”

“The four runs made it easy for Kelly the rest of the way. Kelly had her good stuff today. She struck out 11 earlier this year, but I believe this was her best performance overall.”

“Many of them play on the same travel teams and know each other well.”

“We couldnt get the bunt down and then Brittany had two strikes and hit the ball hard, but it ended up being a double play. That was one of the games momentum shifts.”

“We had passed balls and wild pitches and that was another momentum shift. In that sense, we helped them move into scoring position.”

“We didnt put enough pressure on their defense.”
