affect improve win
It's really not about a win or a loss. We need to improve upon what we've been addressing. Win or lose, it doesn't really affect who we play.
attack care defense lost physical played
It was just a really frustrating game. They were very physical with us and we lost our composure. I thought our defense played well, but our attack just couldn't take care of the ball.
both came class freshman large program struggled stuck
They both came in with a very large freshman class that struggled a bit, but they really stuck it out. They've contributed so much more to the program than just stats.
hooking rattled
We had to be disciplined, and we weren't that disciplined in the first half. We got kind of rattled and we just started hooking the ball.
difference finish game inability taking tying
What really made the difference was our inability to finish on our eight-meter chances. That's the difference between tying the game and taking the lead.
analyzing buy detailed game kids luxury plan taking terms thinking time week
We've had the luxury of having more than a week to take some time off and regroup. We have a much more detailed game plan in terms of something the kids can buy into. It's taking a little more thinking out of their hands, in terms of analyzing the game and making decisions.
ball five four good great might perfect score third though three wait
Even though we've got great attackers, we might have one good first look, but we want to wait for the third perfect look. But if we give the ball to Vanderbilt four or five times in transition, they're going to score three or four out of those four or five chances.
care games good win
There's not a lot of good to say today. It was frustrating. You just don't win games if you can't take care of the ball.
dug flat games hole ourselves played row slow
It was two games in a row where we dug ourselves into a hole where we couldn't get ourselves out. We started off slow and played flat in the first half.
force key others players score three
You're not going to keep her to nothing, but you want to keep her to three or below. We have to key in on the other players and force the others to score for them.
consistent effort hard lose played struggling today
You never like to lose in that way, by that margin. But we've been struggling with consistent effort and today everyone played hard the whole game.
attack ball care clock defense discipline good held looked onto plays run today
Our defense looked good because our attack held onto the ball. Having the discipline on the attack to run the plays and take care of the ball is something we haven't been able to do in the past, but today we did. We managed the clock very well.
bad chances coming games knew loss three
She was on fire. You kind of knew that was going to happen. They were coming off of a loss and she had a bad game. Chances are that she's not going to have three bad games in a row.
anchor games loss playing stepping three won
She's really the anchor of our defense. She's stepping up and playing consistently. We wouldn't have won our three games if it wasn't for her and Friday's loss would have been uglier.
