Both these players are hard workers and have earned the respect of their teammates. They will do a great job leading this team this year.
counter court cruz defense execute expect good half hard last offense played santa scoring similar speed time type
Santa Cruz has very good speed this year. The last time we played them, we had a hard time scoring on the counter attack. We expect a similar type game, so we are going to have to play good defense and execute well in our half court offense and 6-on-5 opportunities.
forward game good happy hard looking played scoring time won
It was a big first game for us. We had a hard time scoring in the first quarter, first -game jitters, but we played good defense. We are happy we won the first game and we are looking forward to tomorrow's match.

It was a big win for our program. We have been working really hard to beat a program of that caliber and it shows that all the hard work has paid off. The strong character of our players really showed up today, especially in overtime when we hung in for the win. Hopefully this is something we can build upon for the future.
against air beginning force game good hard needed prettiest tough weekend
The game against Air Force was tough. They jumped out on us from the beginning and it was tough to come back. We battled hard against Pomona and it was good to see. It wasn't the prettiest game, but we did what we needed to do to win. This was a good weekend overall.

It was a good effort for a second game. Pacific played really hard and I think the best of our team really came out to play in the second half. It was a good overall day.
freshmen improve last played stepped year
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.
coach college competition conference expect good pacific rebuilding somewhat strongest sure water year
Pacific has a new coach this year and a young team. I'm sure they see this year as somewhat of a rebuilding year, but they play in the strongest conference in college women's water polo, so we are going to expect some good competition from them.
game year
Our first game is a game we should win. This is the first year we can say that.
barbara close confidence games good playing productive pulling santa start team three
Overall, it was a productive weekend. Three games in one day was challenging, but pulling out a close game to start off the day was really good for team confidence and playing UC Santa Barbara will only make us better.
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.
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.
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.

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.
