against challenged defensive played stepped
They packed it in and really played defensive against us. We played well, but we just couldn't get it in the net. At halftime, though, I challenged our players, and they really stepped it up. It was really a character-building game.
bad ended everybody fact finish game glad played players weather
We had a lot of players out. So the fact that we played everybody and that everyone contributed was good. I'm glad we were able to finish the game (before bad weather hit) because we would have been disappointed if it had ended up being 0-0.
character effort fold game good great hold losing pressure reach
To hold them to 0-0 was a great effort for us. We showed a lot of character not to fold when the put the pressure on us. And to reach the semifinals after losing the first game was good for us, too.
district excited page
We were excited going into district because our forwards are gelling so well. We're on the same page right now.
game girls hardest keeping lower mentally motivated pouring shows
It was pouring rain, but we still had 11 different scorers. That shows that we're pressing and not getting lazy. The hardest part is keeping them motivated because a lot of times, the girls know going into a game that they should win, 5-0. So we motivate them to not lower their potential. And every game, they come out mentally focused.
battle clicking cry girls team
We're really clicking right now. Our battle cry right now is 14-0 because that's something that no other (Coppell girls soccer) team has done.
best defense faced fast goal great happy held played skilled team yards
We played a great game. They were the best team we faced the whole weekend. They have some really fast and skilled players, but our defense held them. If the only goal we give up is one from 45 yards out, then I'm happy with our performance.
achieving chance class girls goal great history job second win
Our first goal was to win district, and our second one was to do something that no other class in our school's history has done. You don't get many years to get the chance for something like this, but the girls did a great job at achieving their goal.
competition ready
You know that you have to come out and be ready to play every night. The competition there will get us ready for the playoffs.
