Catcher Krista Williams (junior) attributed their success to the teams 'love for the game', quoting a saying the team recites before each game, “Love the game. Love the game for the pure joy of accomplishment. Love the game for everything it can teach you about yourself. Love the game for the feeling of belonging to a group striving to do its best. Love the game for being involved in a team whose members can't wait to see you do your best. Love the game for the challenge of working harder than you ever have at something and then work harder than that. Love the game because it takes all team members to give it life. Love the game because at its best, the games tradition will include your contributions. Love the game because you belong to a long line of great athletes who have loved it. It is now your legacy. Love the game so much that you will pass on your love of the game to another athlete who has seen your dedication, your work, your challenges, your triumphs...and then that athlete will, because of you, love the game.”
