AUBURN QUOTES:
Auburn Head Coach Tina Deese
"I'm just really proud of the way the girls played. We had a tough, emotional night last night and I'm just proud of the way the girls came out and played."
"This game gives us a chance to go back and rest and regroup. We wanted a strong finish to this season and this is our chance."
Auburn Pitcher Kristen Keyes
"We are still in this tournament. We are the 12th ranked team in the country and we just needed to come out and play like it. I think today we showed we can come out and play with anybody."
SOUTH CAROLINA QUOTES:

"They took advantage of the mistakes we made and capitalized. It's been pretty much the story of our season; we show up one day and don't show up another day."

"We made our bed and we're sleeping in it. We'll find out soon enough."
