excellent illinois level played sunday turning
We didn't play well on Friday, but Sunday we were excellent again, at the level we played in the Illinois and Northwestern games. We're getting to overtime, and we're turning it up a notch.
confidence extremely fastest high level nobody past quite reads
Nobody went past her. She may not be the fastest defender, but she reads it extremely well. Her confidence level has to be quite high right now.
air balls last picked played poorly seven taking winning
Without taking anything away from Syracuse, I thought we played poorly in the first half. We weren't winning balls in the air or on the ground. But for the last seven minutes, after they scored, we picked it up.
came earned exactly prove walk
We came out with something to prove today. As we walk away from today, we earned something. It wasn't exactly what we wanted, but it was something.
east finally game half special talking treat year
We will treat this as a special game on Friday. We've been talking about the Big East for about a year and a half now, and it's finally here.
defense four last loss takes team time
This will be a different team than we had last year. It takes time for a defense to gel, especially with the loss of four seniors.
healthy next sore
Right now, (Martin) could play 90 minutes, but (her hip) would be very sore the next day. We have to get her healthy first.
adjustment college defense far great honor job nice offense quick sports
This is a nice honor for Katie. She has made a quick adjustment to the college game. She's doing a great job contributing, not just on defense, but on offense as well. She's another part of a defense that has done well so far this season.
ball days expect field five flow four game great playing relatively spread turned
At times we turned the ball over a little too much, and we didn't try to spread the field enough. But the way we're playing right now is still relatively new. We only implemented it about four or five days ago, and you can't expect a great flow to the game all the time.
confident credit defense deserves deserving feeds honor integral involved named national players rest shown team
Being named to a national team-of-the-week, she has shown she is deserving of an honor like that. She deserves a lot of credit for our start. She's an integral part of our defense. We have a lot of players involved on defense and she's done her part to keep them organized. She's confident and the rest of the team feeds off that.
field happy longer night offense overtime second senior special straight took
In the second half, we were able to use more of the field and get our offense going. It's our second straight overtime game, the second time it took a little longer to win, but we'll take it, especially with it being Senior Night. It's a special night for them, I'm happy that we were able to win.
based came great number people proud start step team weekend
It's a great start to our season. I'm proud of the way the team came out this weekend. Based on where we have been with some injuries, we had a number of people step up this weekend and play hard.
ball game grass knock needed
It was more of a battle. We needed to put the ball on the grass and knock it around, and as the game went on we established that.
goalkeeper great hit line pulled
It was a great shot. Their goalkeeper did play off her line and (Kelly) was about even with me. I told her to hit it, and she pulled the trigger.
