THE MODERATOR: We'll continue with questions for Coach Hogue. This team can get it done whether or not it shows up. I think that just goes to show, I mean, we believe in ourselves and we have all the confidence in the world regardless of outs, strikes. I mean, if you saw the dugout the last inning, we're all up, there's no tears shed until the very last out. The last inning we thought we were going to score, so.ĮLLESSA BONSTROM: Yeah, I mean, there's not a doubt with this team. I don't think there was ever a point really where it felt like it was the end for us. We're a team that likes to come back when we have our backs against the wall. HALEY DENNING: I don't think there was ever a point where we thought we couldn't do it. When did it become apparent during the game that it probably wasn't going to happen for you guys? What were some of the emotions you were feeling at that point?

I'm so happy that she got to get back to the World Series and that she has the team that she deserves. I mean, Coach H stuck with us for all five seasons. I mean, that's anything that I would hope. To be a part of kind of this rebuilding group of seniors, I mean, we didn't start out great, and we are leaving the program better than what we came into. I'm so proud of this team, just the season we've had this year. To say that we actually did is honestly a dream come true. I mean, we knew we wanted to end at the World Series. It started from the very first practice to the very first meeting.
So from the very beginning of this year we knew what the World Series was our goal. It's just been really cool to see how we turned the program around from what we were, having the belief and faith that we can make it here, so.ĮLLESSA BONSTROM: Yeah, I mean, last year wasn't how we wanted to end. Being able to do it with, like, we have grit, we have energy, we have all the things. This has been a season that's been building since the day we didn't make post-season last year. HALEY DENNING: I know after last year, we met as a team after we didn't make post-season, kind of just came together, like, without coaches and just said, This is how we want to be different. Can you tell me what this season has been like for you. Your coach just said it, you're here, today is probably not fun, but this has been a season for you guys that's had a lot of moments. We knew she threw drop balls and we just couldn't make our adjustments early enough, couldn't get the ball in the air. Just got to see ball, hit ball sometimes, and we just didn't do that today.ĮLLESSA BONSTROM: Like Haley said, she's a great pitcher. We just didn't make our adjustments as a team. Could you both give me an idea of what you saw from her. Like last year, it didn't go our way, and so I can't wait to see what the Utes are going to do next year. I'm excited for the future Utes because this is going to be a big steppingstone for them. I mean, this team has a lot of fight in them. We knew coming back tonight was going to be a fight. I just want to give a shout-out to my team because this has been amazing with them and they're awesome people, so.ĮLLESSA BONSTROM: I mean, after the first loss today, we just went back to the hotel and just honestly did a reset. But obviously it sometimes doesn't happen like that, so. We just wanted to try to win for our team.
We've tried so hard our past five years to get here. I think - gosh dang it, I'm going to start crying. HALEY DENNING: Honestly, it didn't feel like a lot of pressure. You've played softball all day long all your lives. Oklahoma State had a long night last night. THE MODERATOR: Questions for the players. Proud of what they did because it's an entire season, right, that we're talking about. The pride that these ones displayed and the way they wore those colors, super proud. We'll start with an opening statement from Utah head coach Amy Hogue.ĪMY HOGUE: Yeah, as long as I don't look at these two, I might be able to get it out.
