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.

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.

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.
built came momentum offense score strong throughout
I don't think we started off as strong as we could have, but we built momentum throughout the game. We didn't score as much on our counterattack, but our half-court offense really came through for us.
