ask ball bit club difference last offense patient people step
People always ask me what the difference is between last year's club and this year's and this year's we have other people that can step up. We are a little more patient on offense and we can get other people the ball a little bit better.
battle close game great last learned solid tried year
Last year it was a great battle and it was a close game between two solid teams. Hopefully, what we learned from that game last year, we tried to incorporate all season.
couple focused good last sign team time veteran
This was a good sign of an experienced, veteran team and a focused team. They jumped out on us, they were doing some things. But, every time they would answer, we would answer, and I think we just had the last couple spurts.
ball compared good impressed key last move patience wait willing year
I think our patience has been the big key for us this year. Compared to last year and some other years, our patience has really, really impressed me this season. We're willing to move the ball around and wait for that good shot.
evening experience girls last mean played playing playoffs plays positive whoever worry
We have some girls who played last year, and I think experience in the playoffs can be a positive factor. I think at this time, you just worry about who's playing that evening and who's playing well and, just because we've been there before doesn't mean anything for that evening because, whoever plays better is going to go on.
five fortunate four game heck last lightly starters team win
You can't take any team lightly in the playoffs. That was a heck of a game last year, and we were just fortunate to come out with a win -- and they have four of their five starters back.
both change expect familiar good point sure surprises
I'm sure it's a good thing for both of us because we're both pretty familiar with what we do and, when you get to this point of the year, you don't change anything. We're both pretty familiar with each other and I don't expect too many surprises and I'm sure they won't get any surprises from us because we'll do the same things we've done all year.
credit
That has to be credit to our girls.
bit early girls great progress slow soccer team
It was great for our girls' soccer team to do so well, but it did slow our team's progress a little bit early in the season.
thinking
We weren't thinking about it too much. We just have to go out and play. You have to play well to advance.
attack half hit looking pleased pressure quarter
They were looking to pressure us and they were looking to attack us offensively. The thing that they did really well in the first half was hit their shots, so I was really pleased (near) the end of the first quarter to be tied.
cut driving four good job looking people saw soon three
They were doing a good job on her so that she couldn't get a good look or a good driving lane. They knew, as soon as she got the ball, I saw there were three or four people around her looking to cut off the driving lanes.
ashley bench good ink maggie people performed players playoffs season three tournament win
Ashley and Maggie (Gibson) get a lot of the ink and the publicity, but there are other people that have performed well in the playoffs and all season for us. You're not going to win in the tournament with two or three good players. You need to have more players and you need to have a bench if you want to advance.
came far matter monkey played step
No matter how far you go in anything, you have to take that first step and, sometimes, that first step can be a big one. They hadn't played for two weeks, but there's no monkey on their back ... and they came in really relaxed.
