JACKSONVILLE STATE HEAD COACH JANA McGINNIS
“This team has worked hard, going from where we were in March to here at the regionals, I am just very proud of this team.”
On her team’s pitching
“We didn’t get the start we wanted, but give Auburn credit, they scored 15 runs. They hit everything we threw at them today.”
On playing from behind
“You don’t want to try to come from behind. We wanted to get a good start but we just didn’t. I don’t think we could match Auburn run for run and hit for hit. Give Auburn a lot of credit. They were disappointed about yesterday, but they responded today and played very well.”
PITCHER ASHLEY ELIASSON
On Error in the First
“I was very confident with my throw, but it was just off a little. I think it was definitely a game-changer; it just got us off to a bad start.”
On team’s poor play Saturday
“I wanted to shut them down right away but just couldn’t get it that time. We picked a bad time to have an off day.”
FIRST BASEMAN NIKKI PRIER
On her team’s performance today
“It’s tough, we know we’re better than that, and it’s hard to deal with. Being here was a great experience. We’ve worked so hard. This is the hardest working team I’ve been on in four years and we deserved to be here.”
