HEAD COACH MARY YORI'S COMMENTS

• Great team effort in securing two wins. All our players saw some action amd we are starting to find our groove as a team. 
• In Game 2, Emily Swoboda had a 8 pitch at-bat and finally drew the walk with the bases loaded for the first run of the game. Amber Kosmicki then came up with a big pinch hit single to drive in runs two and three and get us off to a solid start. 
• We look forward to battling once more tomorrow - closing out the week in Florida.
