A lot of people don't realize the challenge of sitting out three rotations, coming in and boom, having the other team come right at you. Emma handled that perfectly this evneing.

"Now we have to gear up for the Fairfield Tourney Saturday. It's a tough field and if we have runs of errors, the teams down there will take advantage of that."
