battle close game great last learned solid tried year
Last year it was a great battle and it was a close game between two solid teams. Hopefully, what we learned from that game last year, we tried to incorporate all season.
We always try to do that. That is one of our philosophies. We try to get everyone into the game.
came hurts mean scoreboard short three winners
It just hurts being here three years in a row. They came up short on the scoreboard, but they're winners in my book, and especially the seniors. Just because we weren't winners on the scoreboard doesn't mean we aren't winners in the long run.
achieve caught goals insight key people practice reaching sure team truly trying work
I think some people get caught up too much in the expectations of other people. You can never let the expectations of other people overrule yours, because you are the one who is there at practice every day and you, as a coach, are the person who truly has an insight to how the team is progressing. The key is to set goals and work on reaching them and be sure that the goals you are trying to achieve are the ones that you set and not the ones that other people may have set.
ball compared good impressed key last move patience wait willing year
I think our patience has been the big key for us this year. Compared to last year and some other years, our patience has really, really impressed me this season. We're willing to move the ball around and wait for that good shot.
ask ball bit club difference last offense patient people step
People always ask me what the difference is between last year's club and this year's and this year's we have other people that can step up. We are a little more patient on offense and we can get other people the ball a little bit better.
bit early girls great progress slow soccer team
It was great for our girls' soccer team to do so well, but it did slow our team's progress a little bit early in the season.
cut driving four good job looking people saw soon three
They were doing a good job on her so that she couldn't get a good look or a good driving lane. They knew, as soon as she got the ball, I saw there were three or four people around her looking to cut off the driving lanes.
both change expect familiar good point sure surprises
I'm sure it's a good thing for both of us because we're both pretty familiar with what we do and, when you get to this point of the year, you don't change anything. We're both pretty familiar with each other and I don't expect too many surprises and I'm sure they won't get any surprises from us because we'll do the same things we've done all year.
came girls group heart hurts special worked
It just hurts being here, and I feel for these kids. This is such a special group of girls to be around. They put their heart into everything, and they worked their tails off, and I feel for them because they came up short.
