"Just shows the work that the girls put in all year and what they've earned um throughout the country to get another opportunity, even though we didn't come through when we needed to, but it's just really special. This group is special...They really do deserve another opportunity and I hope it, you know, shows forward when we go and play State Fair. I think we have a chance to, you know, to not just be there and be happy. I think they have a chance to make a run at it."
