The fact is that there's a LOT of distractions being at home.

Everything from just being on campus and feeling the excitement to friends and relatives coming into town and wanting to spend time with you. When they are on the road, they have a narrow focus that goes between schoolwork and their teammates.

Coach D'Amour's quotes after Friday night was “We had a very average practice yesterday and I sensed the team was a little too loose prior to the game. For the first time this year I felt like we thought we could just show up and win. It doesn’t work like that. Anybody can beat anybody on any given day in college softball."

BUT, we still won the series without playing their best.

Hopefully, it's a lesson learned.
