The thing that made me feel positive in many ways was the way our defense played in the early stages when the game was in doubt. They ran an interception back and had the ball after the punt block. At that point it would have been in a lot of peoples minds that Toledo would knock it in, but they had to kick it. There was another red-zone stand that left them with a field-goal attempt.

Bill Evans

The thing that hurt us the most was they got off to such a quick start. We're having a hard time scoring the basketball, and I think our patience hurts us. We didn't throw the ball in the post enough.

The thing I'm most surprised about is the run production. I knew he'd be a catalyst and get on base and steal bases, but the way he drives the ball has really impressed me because he's not a home run hitter.

The thing I liked most was that when Dwight was matched up with Duncan, he took the ball right at him. That's what we've been trying to get him to do all season.

Shelia Smith

This is the first time we didn't go one and out. We came out flat in the first half. I don't know if we were nervous. We can't play like that in the next round and expect to win.

This is not a public-relations stunt. We've put a lot of work into this proposal and this isn't something we came up with overnight. We felt that we had to do something.

We've waited long enough for them to try to step up.

Joanna Schultz

This is probably the first time I've came into a season healthy. I'm all about keeping that going. Staying healthy and working hard. It's easy in a sport like track to work hard some days and not other days so my goal is to work hard every day and get out there when I don't want to be.
