Ole Miss Quotes

Head Coach Missy Dickerson
On the game...
"When you come into a situation like this, you have to come in with nothing to lose. We struggled over our last 15 or 20 games. When you do that, you have to lay it out there on the field in a game like this. We struggled, and we weren't disciplined at the plate. The better team won tonight."

On Tennessee's Monica Abbott...
"She is just an amazing pitcher, and Tennessee is a very solid team. When you come out and face the best, you have to be at your best. I don't think we were at our best tonight."

DP Mary Jane Callahan
On the game...
"I think everybody came out with a really positive attitude and was ready to play, but we just didn't get it done. It's sad that we have to lose to Tennessee, but that's the way it goes."

Tennessee Quotes

Co-Head Coach Ralph Weekly
On starting pitcher Monica Abbott ...
"I'm blessed to be able to write Monica Abbott's name in the lineup card. She's a great kid, not just a great pitcher. We struggled a bit early, and she did what she usually does, which is hold them until we were able to get untracked."

On the team's offense ...
"I think we probably could have scored a couple more runs, but we played a lot of players tonight. We felt like once we got a lead, with Monica throwing strong, we could give some kids a chance to play. I think we capitalized on almost every chance we got."

P Monica Abbott
On her 1-hit performance from the circle ...
"I just went out there and wanted to put up a strong performance for my team. We had to sit around a little bit today. It was good to be out here and play the game."

On the team's offense ...
"We came out strong, took it one pitch at a time. The offense really did their job. It's always nice when the offense puts up runs."

1B Tonya Callahan
On the tournament ...
"We've just got to take one game at a time. They had beaten us earlier in the season. That was a big motivation, to come out here and get revenge. That motivated us this game. We won the regular season, and it's going to be a tough thing to win this too. That gets us going."

On playing Florida Friday ...
"It's just another game. We know we have to come out here and win to move on. We'll watch film, see what happens, and we'll have a game plan tomorrow."

On Monica Abbott ...
"She did a great job. She keeps her composure really well. I think sometimes she struggles a little bit, but she picks herself back up, and that's the biggest thing."
