Quotes
Bethune-Cookman
Head Coach Chris Cochran
Opening
Statement:
??We certainly had opportunities to
score I thought a couple of times and we were unsuccessful, but a lot of that
was due to FIU. This is the third time we played them this year.? The first
time we got bombed, the second time was 3-2 and then there was today. I thought
offensively, we came out a little bit better than we had the first time, I was
happy to see that. It?s not too often that you are able to keep yourself in a
game for 10 innings when you make 4 errors. We did make good plays when they
put runners into scoring position. Allie had a couple of key strikeouts there
to end innings everyone kept working, I was proud of that and our effort.?

Senior Pitcher Allison Garcia
On
pitching the complete 10-inning game:
?I have
pitched this deep into a game before. Prior to this I have done a lot of
conditioning, pitching back-to-back games, so it didn?t really have much of an
impact on me. ?
