The team came out fired up to play Cal State Bernardino and we've always had good games with them in the past. We were up 7-1 at the half and held up the rest of the way. We executed counterattack really well and played really good defense.
barbara currently davis expect good improved learned opportunity playing ranked santa similar type
Santa Barbara is a very good team. They are currently ranked No. 10, and more than anything, we will expect them to be really physical. This will be a good opportunity for us to see if we learned and improved upon some things from playing Davis because it will probably be a similar type of game.
accustomed came defending game good job offense run strong stuck
It was a good game at home. We came out strong and stuck to our game plan. They run a different offense than what we are accustomed to seeing, but we did a good job defending it.
crowd extra game good home hoping last pool senior smaller team tough tougher weather
They are a tough team to play, and they are even tougher to play in a smaller pool like ours. It should be a really good game. Also, it is our last home game of the year, and it is senior day. Even if the weather is not that great, we are hoping for a big crowd to give us that extra edge.
adds against athletes attendance cal crowd definitely excitement extra fellow front help home incentive level perform players playing princeton respect santa sports state student sure team
Playing in front of a big crowd always adds to the level of excitement for a home game, and it will definitely help our team. Having fellow student athletes as a part of that crowd will help even more. Our team has a lot of respect for all the athletes at Santa Clara, and having players from every sports team at Santa Clara in attendance is going to be cool. I'm sure it is going to give our team extra incentive to perform well against Princeton and Cal State Monterey Bay.
double game good mentally overtime soon strong tough
It was a good game by our team. It's tough to play so soon after a double overtime victory, so it was important to come out mentally strong and that's what they did.

We had a lot of freshmen who stepped up and played well last season. They now have a year under their belts, so I think we'll improve this year.

You don't know until you've played a few games who is going to step up and do things, but I think we have a lot of offensive talent out there that we're going to utilize in different ways.

We came out strong like we needed to. It's a great game to have under our belts heading into tomorrow's game with UC Davis. The UC Davis game is really big for our team and we're looking forward to it.
catherine fill goal graduated increase last leading offensive player players score several starter void
We graduated only one starter in Catherine Flynn , but she was our leading goal scorer last year. I don't think we have one player that is going to score like Catherine did last year, but as a team, I think we will be able to fill that void by having several players increase their offensive production.
attack counter court dominant everybody expose half involved key last offensive push solid team
We are going to push the counter attack even more so than last year, and everybody will get more involved in the half court offense. We do not have one dominant offensive threat, but most everybody on our team has a solid offensive game. The key for us is to find and expose mismatches when we are on offense.
adds against athletes cheering crowd definitely energy feed front game home mutual players ranked respect santa student team year
This was our first home game this year against a ranked team and having a big crowd really adds energy to the game and our players definitely feed off of that. The student athletes at Santa Clara have a mutual respect for one another so having them all cheering for the team really made us want to play well in front of them.
