capable expect game goals great hard people player putting scoring start
It's great to have a player like Jenny on your team, but it's also hard because you do expect her to come out and have a game like this. I think there are other people that are capable of putting up those same numbers, and I think when we really start to find our game and start rolling, we'll have more than just Jenny scoring that many goals in a game.
came couple defense definitely great pulled rocky start trying worked
I think it was a great start to the season. We definitely came out rocky at first but pulled it together. We've been trying a couple of things on defense that are different from what we usually do and they worked out for us.
definitely degree good playing practicing season south starts teams
I think there's definitely something to be said for momentum. Traditionally our starts to the season have been very tough, but it's hard, especially when you're going down south and playing teams that have been practicing in 60 degree weather. It's definitely a challenge, but I think it's a good challenge.
conference confidence gain hope momentum nice starting weekend
I think that starting conference this weekend is a big deal, and it's nice to do it at home. I hope that we can take the momentum we have, especially what we're doing offensively right now, and kind of gain confidence and keep rolling.
attack ball capable days expecting few last practice putting worked year
I've been expecting it all year -- I think we could've scored more goals. I think we have an attack that is really capable of putting the ball in the back of the net, and I think they've kind of been shying away from doing it a little bit. Something that we've really worked on practice the last few days is just scoring.
couple good job key nice people saving saw shots taking
I think she's a very good goalie. I think she did a very nice job of saving a couple of key shots. She just saw a lot of shots and we had a lot of people taking shots.
against game george great hard lindsay manages might rest somebody takes team willing
I think Lindsay always manages to have a great game against George Mason, but I think when you have somebody that's willing to go hard it kind of takes away any apprehensions that the rest of the team might have so we can go after them hard.
balls bring definitely game goal goes good gotta great ground job proud
She did a great job today. We're definitely very proud of what she was able to do in the goal cage. She had some good ground balls and saves, but I think you gotta bring it for each game and we'll see how it goes from there.
behind bit great hard last mary shape strengths stuck threat top tried worked year
We've really tried to play to our strengths a little bit more. Last year Mary really stuck behind the crease a lot and was a great feeder. I think now Mary has really worked hard to get in better shape and to get faster, and so I think she's a threat from up top as well.
attacking caused eight five goals great lewis lindsay people players point time
We also had players like Lindsay Lewis who scored five goals and had five caused turnovers, and Danica Strutt. We had eight people with a point in the attacking end. That's really what we look for, and we had a great time of it today.
balls couple expected game good great score selection settled shot slow threw
No, I wasn't worried. It's our first game so I really wasn't surprised. I think I kind of expected us to get a slow start. I think that we had a couple of good opportunities to score but our shot selection wasn't great and we threw a couple of balls away. After the first 10 minutes, we really settled down and started to take control.
came college dual gotten school
It's gotten really rare. I think when I was in college we had a lot of dual sport athletes, but I think they really came to school to do that.
athletic fun history huge though
It's a new team, so I think it is exciting. It's fun to have a different opponent, and it's a big athletic program, so even though they don't have a long-standing history with the lacrosse team, it's a huge athletic program. So I think that makes it a lot of fun to have them come out here.
coming confidence defense gain gave offense outlet playing strong
We started to gain confidence from turnovers that the defense was coming up with, and it gave our offense a better outlet for attacking. When the defense is strong and playing like that you can take a lot more risks.
