Oklahoma Head Coach Patty Gasso
"We were able to execute and put the ball in play. That was one of our missions this weekend, to keep the ball active and allow our runners to run."

On the Utah catcher interference play:
"It gave us a little bit of insurance and, at the same time, I believed it unraveled Utah. Those kinds of breaks and calls are really important in a game like this. After that play, the more we scored, the more it seemed to boost our confidence. So it was really helpful."

Oklahoma Pitcher Jennifer Stewart
"I felt good and I was hitting my spots. Of course, it's good to have strikeouts but that's not what I'm usually made of and not what I usually do. Everything was working today and I let my defense take care of the rest. I was definitely ready."

Utah Head Coach Mona Stevens
"Jennifer Stewart had a great performance against us today. This was our third time to see her this year and we had hit against her well in the previous outings so we were optimistic about today. She really stepped up her game and didn't allow us to score."

On the Utah catcher interference play:
"That play really sums up how our whole season has gone. We start to have a little momentum and then the wind is taken out of our sails. The bottom line is that we didn't score so we didn't win."
