All of them came early and all of the losses came to playoff teams. We pride ourselves in not playing a cupcake schedule.

The first thing you have to realize is that these are kids. The girls might go in there and be wide-eyed. We've talked about that. They know what's at stake.

I don't want to be talking about encouraging defeats every week.

I just didn't want to let my team lose. I wanted to win this championship bad. We beat the No. 1 team for conference, and that feels real good.

I have to say it looked like the keeper played the ball before the man but we have had some awful decisions against us this season so maybe it comes around.

In this day and time, it's hard to keep a team together. They bring in players who step in and do the job, and they go out and get the players they need.

I knew they had shooters, but they killed us with that skip pass. They got the ball to their shooters, and we were afraid to run out.

That's a strong possibility. Obviously, the teams that have been coming down like doing so or they wouldn't keep coming, and we've had several inquiries from other teams about coming.

It was good to get the first region win. Trace threw the ball well. He threw a lot of strikes. And, it was good to see us hit the ball well again.

It was a clear penalty from where I was standing. I asked the referee about it and his view was that it was a case of ball to hand.
