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.
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.
felt game gives hand lead seems settled team
We felt like we had the game in hand and we settled down a bit. It always seems with Colgate that we get to a big lead and then we let them back in. That team never gives up.
ability egg fashion game immaturity lack laying lose stick
To lose to Stanford, and in the fashion that we did, by laying an egg in the first half, showed some immaturity with our lack of ability to stick with the game plan.
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.
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.
double felt hit loss marks needed point though time turn
We would be reeling if we had loss today. We needed this win. It marks an important turn around point in the season. It really felt like the first time we hit double digits on the board, even though it wasn't.
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.
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.
ball care cause foolish great midfield
We made a lot of foolish turnovers in the first half. They're a great team, they're going to cause turnovers, but we've got to take care of the ball in midfield transition.
attack continue defensive great improvement improving momentum opportunity room work
We've been improving on a lot of things, but there is still a lot of room for more improvement. This will give us a great opportunity to work on our attack and some of our defensive weaknesses. It's also a momentum builder. We have to continue to play well.
ball double fed missed player quick ready trouble
I don't think we were ready for how quick they fed the ball in and shot. On offense, we had trouble with their double teams, and when we skipped the ball over to the wide-open player we missed some opportunities.
