against containing defense difficult emily four francis handle hell honor miller opportunity played player senior starts trying year
Our defense has played against Tiff Weimer for four years now, Melissa Miller and Emily Francis know her, and they are going to be the two responsible for trying to handle her. She is a pretty difficult player to contain, and it starts with just containing her. She is a hell of a talent, it's an honor for us to have her here in her senior year and have this opportunity to play with her.
beating bit certainly easy game gives home matter penn prefer state stretch task tough whether
Beating Penn State is not going to be an easy task no matter how you stretch it, whether it's at their place or at our place. I think being at home gives us that bit of an advantage.

ball bicycle chances counts defense goal half kick penn players poke shoot toe willing
Penn State's defense was good; I think we had opportunities that we weren't willing to take half chances. I've got young players right now that want every goal to be a World Cup-quality goal. A toe poke counts just as much as a bicycle kick so we have to take chances and shoot the ball more.
