"We are getting better at handling adversity and responding when the opponents score," Head Coach Leigh Ann LaFave-Austin said. "We just have to have a better start to the game so we don't have to always dig out of situations. I'm pleased with the bounce back. We have been growing together as a team. We have received contributions from everyone, top to bottom, of the lineup and the pitchers are throwing well."
