E. Hicks Played Quotations

I was pleased with the first half and how we played. We ended the half a little like we ended the game. We played well in spurts.

Right now, I think we played terrible in the fourth quarter. I'm disappointed we finished the game that way.

I was in the Santa Rosa Musician's Union. Get gigs, come out and play. Four or five guys who never played together show up and play dance music.

I don't believe for one minute that anybody got a contract, got an investment, got a policy decision made because they played golf with the governor,

We played terrible in the fourth quarter. I didn't let down, but my players might have. I don't expect us to play that way. I expect us to play hard the whole game. We have to finish.

We couldn't have played defense any better. Just one play, other than that Amber Hanson had just an excellent game at shortstop, just an excellent game. I couldn't ask any more of her. She checked runners and got us out of situations.

We got beat by 20 points in front of our first sellout crowd. We just got smacked. I played hard, but it wasn't enough. People came out with uniforms on, but I guess everyone's heart stayed in the locker room.

We definitely played hard tonight and came out strong early. We came out and wanted to run them down early and that has been kind of our identity this year. We have been sticking to that.

We came out and played horrible the other day. It's our first game back, whether it's them or DePaul, whatever, we need to come out and establish ourselves.

They always come out to play us tough. Tonight, they played harder than we did, but we were able to get the win.

We did a lot of good things today. The problem is, we have to do that against all teams. The girls played well and did a good job. We didn't have any errors. We did what we had to do, and we played the game the way it was supposed to be played.

I never expected the game to go like this. I thought that we played well in spurts.

At times Saturday we played really well. But we can't start off in a hole all the time. We have to score runs right away in the first part of the game.

They can't easily say what they want to say in case they're deemed unpatriotic. It's all part of a fear-based hypnosis, so I was worried about how they'd take the track, but I played it when I was on tour in the US and people loved it.

They played their hearts out, and we did the same. We just want to leave with the win.

This was the fourth time we played this week, but it's also their fourth game. It was going to come down to who wanted it more. We made a couple more plays.
