"The separation between the two teams was in the outfield. The two plays by the CF on Moldenhauer's balls created outs and didn't generate the runs they had an opportunity to generate. Their infield played flawlessly. They did not give us an extra base or an extra out through the entire game." -- Texas coach Augie Garrido

"He had a good, crisp, firm fastball. Then he'd follow it up with a well-placed change-up. That's a tough combination when you can locate it. He made it look easy, and when this game is played well, it does look easy." -- Garrido

"My team had the right attitude at the beginning. They have the right attitude now. They'll have the right attitude tomorrow morning." -- Garrido

"We played a better game tonight than we did last night. Last night, we won. Tonight, we lost. Hats off to Irvine." -- Garrido

"I know this thing isn't over yet. Our toughest game is still in front of us." -- UCI coach Dave Serrano

"Ball hit in the gap, whether it's a fly ball or a line shot, [CF Ollie Linton] has been there to run it down. All year he has made huge plays for us. I had no doubt those balls were going to be caught." -- pitcher Scott Gorgen

"We all believe. We know we're going to be in the College World Series." -- Aaron Lowenstein
