Winning Coach Donna Dulle, Mt. Pulaski: 
It came down to whoever made the least errors won the match. 
 
About Hall: They have a streaky ballclub and they have lapses in which we take over. 
 
Stephanie Blaum: It was an amazing feeling (playing in the arena). I was overwhelmed. 
 
 
Lisa Vaughan: We kept thinking about last year's tournament.  I was nervous but we'll be ready tomorrow, because now we are prepared. 
 
 
 
Losing Coach Lori Polte, Spring Valley (Hall): What is there to say, it's very disappointing, it's very difficult to lose a game when you're playing so well. 
 
After the first game, I told the  girls they had fought too hard to let it go.
