UCLA Quotes
Head Coach Sue Enquist"It was a good game for us. It gave us an opportunity to work through our offense. In the first three innings we weren't able to connect. We've been successful winning games in the late innings. We are a team that thrives on routine and we needed to get back to our routines (in the late innings)."
"I was pleased to see that when Amanda (Freed) got in a pinch, she was able to get out of it. (Creighton stranded six runners in the first four innings.) A lot of times (this season) Amanda would throw in the second game (of a doubleheader), and that takes a lot of mental toughness. That helped her today. I'm sure she enjoyed the offensive production of one game today."
"As a coach it's great to get a team ready for just seven innings. It's nice to come in for just one game. This club does a great job of not panicking and playing for seven innings."
UCLA Third Baseman Julie Adams
"I'm just focusing on hitting the ball hard and having a good at-bat.
I just want to be aggressive and move the runners."
UCLA Pitcher Amanda Freed
"As the game went on and we scored more runs, I had no doubt we would
win."
Creighton Quotes
Creighton Coach Brent Vigness"I expect UCLA to go on and win the national championship. It was very close through four innings. We were able to keep them off-balance. They made some adjustments to win the game."
Relief for pitcher Shelli Mellegaard
"Because of our injuries, we just have two pitchers."
