asked giving goal obviously piece played team
I think other than not scoring, the team did everything they were asked to do. They played very well together, but giving up a set piece goal and not being able to get one of our own is obviously frustrating.
encourages fortunate knows last mobile program season strong takes teammates took win year
Last year I don't think she was as mobile or as strong as she is now. It took her a part of last season to improve. We are fortunate to have her in the program because she knows what it takes to win and encourages her teammates to do the same.
assistant best coach happy performance played start team
I was really happy with our performance from start to finish. Our assistant coach Karina LeBlanc said it best when she said we played like a Top-10 team tonight.
against dame energy outcome played team
Notre Dame is a top-10 team and DePaul is not, and that's the difference. If we had played with the same energy that we did against Notre Dame, the outcome may have been different today. There are no excuses.
both game matter rival teams
They are an in-state rival and no matter how both teams are doing, it's going to be a big game for both of us.
consistent freshmen grow matter soft takes understand
We're being way too soft in big situations. It's a matter of being consistent and the freshmen and sophomores need to grow up. They need to understand what it takes to win.
hard herself last opportunity positive wants
Meg was very positive and I think a little anxious. She's very hard on herself and always wants to play but she got her opportunity last year.
locker matter order people prepared raise room voices wonder
It's a matter of individuals getting prepared to play. You wonder why we have to raise our voices in the locker room in order to get people to perform.
chances east five game last today tournament urgency
This game was huge. This makes our chances of getting into the Big East tournament much slimmer, but it's not out of the question. We had no sense of urgency today like we had in the last five matches.
areas ball dangerous ended hit improve mark
A lot of our opportunities were good, and then we hit the ball right at the keeper. That's something we'll need to improve on. We didn't mark up in some dangerous areas and it ended up costing us.
good joy people tough
They are all good people and a joy to be around. But right now they're just not tough enough.
coaches cost entire fact hear moments perform played talk time
The thing you need to take into consideration and that you hear coaches talk about all the time is the fact that you need to perform for the entire match. I thought at times we played well and other moments we had breakdowns that cost us.
encouraged happy looking obviously
We are looking at this as a springboard into the Big East. I'm disappointed and obviously we're not happy with the outcome, but we're going to use this to get better, and I feel that we have. I am encouraged by our direction.
against full good happening minutes
We're too good for what's happening to us right now. If you look at our losses, we haven't been there for a full 90 minutes at all. We were there against Loyola, and look what happened.
