Here's the All-Regional team: Wes Etheridge (UC Irvine), Scott Gorgen (UC Irvine), Aaron Lowenstein (UC Irvine), Taylor Holiday (UC Irvine - MOP), Cody Cipriano (UC Irvine), Chais Fuller (Texas), Bradley Suttle (Texas), Nick Peoples (Texas), Ollie Linton (UC Irvine), Ryan Murphy (Brown) and Russell Moldenhauer (Texas).

One other note before quotes -- good thing Irvine closed out that game, because we're having a much worse storm right now than we had last night. I honestly can't see the scoreboard right now.

Quotes...

"They say everything's bigger in Texas, but nothing's bigger than the heart of this baseball team." -- UCI coach Dave Serrano

"We've played our best baseball with a chip on our shoulder because we don't get a lot of media attention and respect from the east. I was a little disappointed we didn't get to host a regional, but if you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best, and getting sent to a place like this... just an unbelievable atmosphere to play baseball." -- Cody Cipriano

"Trying to build this program, I was excited about coming to this region because we know how programs take steps. Coming to this regional was going to be a big step whether we were successful or not. For my ultimate goals in the program, year in and year out, you have to play in this kind of atmosphere and be successful, and learn to deal with this kind of atmosphere to be able to win big. That's why we're here -- to win big." -- Serrano

"We don't care who we play [next weekend]. Our focus is not on our opponent. We always talk about turning the scoreboard off and playing for ourselves." -- Taylor Holiday

"I tip my hat to Coach Garrido. Whether he knows it or not, I'm modeling this program after his when he was at Cal State Fullerton. I'm hoping he can look across the field and be proud of what he sees developing at UC Irvine. I think it's exactly what he had developed 30 years ago at Cal State Fullerton, when he built that program from scratch and made it the national power it is today." -- Serrano

"Coach (Serrano) did a good job getting us excited to play Texas instead of us worrying about playing them. We were excited to play at the highest level of college baseball against a team with so much history." -- Holiday

"UC Irvine played the best baseball in this tournament and deserved to win. Our hats are off to them for some brilliant baseball. They were extremely well coached, highly competitive, very talented, disciplined and really on top of their game through the weekend." -- Augie Garrido

"I really felt like this team had it in us to go all the way. We weren't peaking at the right time and this weekend we didn't play up to our full capabilities." -- Texas 1B Chance Wheeless
