There's frustration that we're not winning. It's up to us to turn it around. We know the kind of opponents we'll face. We think we have the horses for the course. |
They never played with each other before, so it was just about having time to jell. |
They will be very concerned with our attack, unlike UCLA and [Cal-State Fullerton] who would come to play, ... It shouldn't be a very open game. |
