You want to set the stage and be the aggressor. One loss won't knock you out of the standing. It's all about who can finish on game day.

I don't think the time really matters. I think the girls love the games. They were on a tight schedule this weekend, but they had all of yesterday off to relax. I think they are a little more motivated to win and improve the record from last year.

I love the versatility from the players. The bench has kept up with intensity and skill, and they are ready to come in to give others a rest, if not pick up the game.

It was good to come out hard and to set the pace of the game. It helped us to keep the momentum up.

The second half was very casual, we have to develop that killer instinct, and I don't think we have that right now. The team feels confident in play but not that sense to put it away.

This sport is always continuing; we need to work on getting the ball back out to the sides. Sarah Cahill was put in some tough situations. There needs to be more support to people in the center with the ball.

We are like Astroturf snobs, almost, because we have such a beautiful field. We always felt bad about our old field but now we can really showcase our own skills.

We had good ball position, keeping in check and working it on the sides. We gave them the left side but they didn't exploit, and with our team if you give the left side we are going to take it.

It is a tribute to these girls. They will be the first to say that they couldn't be where they are at without their teammates, though.

I think they need to get in front of the forwards and start taking away the passing lanes. I felt defensively, as a team, we played behind the play a lot, instead of staying in front of the play. We weren't intercepting as much.
