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.
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.
anywhere asked field hard played player roles type
We've asked her to do things that she didn't anticipate. She has played all these roles because of all the injuries. But she's the type of player that can play anywhere on the field and that's pretty hard to find.
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.
ball care finish hang percent shoot shot
We're going to have to take care of the ball and finish on our shot opportunities. We're not going to get 30 or 40 shot opportunities. We have to shoot well over 50 or 60 percent to hang in there with them.
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.
believe close either looked played sidelines team though
We haven't really had a lot of close games. They've been a blowout either way. I looked at the sidelines and it looked like the team wanted it. There have been times where I think they didn't believe in themselves. Even though it was a loss, we played well.
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.
beginning ease expected might stress year
Danni had a stress fracture at the beginning of the season, and we had to ease her in. We always expected her to contribute. For her size, you might not expect it, but she's going to have a big year for sure.
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.
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.
