Quotes by Brooks Monaghan
I'm pleased with our performance on the weekend. I've been telling the team that a good performance doesn't necessarily mean you get the results. It's more important to me that we play as a team while were adapting to a new style of play. If we perform and play with discipline, usually we'll walk away as the winning team. I can honestly say that everybody played well this weekend.
Against Arkansas State, it was the first time our players stepped on the playing field to competitively play our new system. I'm pleased with the way the players adjusted to playing the different positions. Our defense was solid and the offense created lots of scoring opportunities.
It was great to play a well-respected program like Missouri. We didn't get the win, but we walked away from the game with a positive experience and learned some areas we need to work on.
It's always a battle with Ole Miss. Whether it's a fall or spring game, it's always a great rivalry. I'm pleased to get the result we had from a quality program that had a lot of success last season.
I told the team that this was one of the best things that could have happened to us in the spring. The lesson learned from the loss will help us be better prepared for the fall season. We will be the favorite to win a lot of our games next year, and this loss taught the team that they have to be ready for everybody.
Roma is a very technical center-mid who reads the game well. She is coming back from an injury but is someone we feel will battle back and contribute right away. Romo has good vision and a fantastic work rate, and she will give us more depth in the midfield.
Eliza has a ton of potential. She is still a little raw but is very fast and athletic. Eliza is a player who you like more and more each time you see her. She is someone we always knew had the ability, but she will continue to improve. I believe the sky is the limit for her. She's an athlete that has split time between track and soccer, and when she gets the chance to have all the eggs in one basket at Memphis, she will continue to excel.
Brittany is one of the top players to come out of Memphis this year. She comes into our program with great size and is a very skillful and technical player. Not too often do you find a player with that type of mixture and ability.
Victoria is a crafty, technical player in the mold of senior Melissa Savage . She is small, but extremely feisty and is a hard worker who could play several positions for us. She also provides another scoring threat for us.
We are excited for the fall. Our players have set high expectations for the next season, and we are looking forward to it. We had the chance in the spring to play against several teams with different types of systems, and we've learned to adapt to the way we need to play to succeed in the fall.
