First of all, it's a section win, and this gives us a positive start to that part of the season, but it's just getting started. We have nine section games left, but we were also able to put some players in new positions on the field, and they were able to get some experience there. |
It was a hard-fought game, and well-played in the first half. We played a good team and were unable to score as many goals as they did. |
That was a good game. Both teams had chances to score, but the defenses kept the ball out of the net the whole day. |
That was the week of spring break, and we hadn't practiced in a week. The girls are more focused right now than they were that day. |
The game and momentum went back-and-forth all night. It was a great game that we just came up on the short end of. |
The school is letting us leave very early for the game, and that will give us plenty of time to stop and eat, stretch and try to keep the blood flowing and the muscles loose throughout the day. We plan to get there about an hour and a half before the game starts so we can get ready and focused for the task at hand. |
They played above their heads all season. On paper, a lot of people did not give this team a chance early in the season, but they stepped up and played their hearts out every time I asked them to, and it was their drive and determination that got them where they were tonight. |
We didn't come out with as much intensity as I hoped we would tonight. We played a good team, but we can play better than we did tonight. |
We just kept playing hard away from the ball and at the ball. We knew the ball was ours, and we played like it was. |
We still have two section games remaining. So we just need to keep winning to make sure we get to stay home for the first round of the playoffs. |
We talked a lot going into tonight about how one loss to Oxford was not going to end our playoff hopes. They stayed focus on the task at hand and kept playing until the job was finished. |
We talked all week about how we needed to come out strong and focused. They did that, and they stayed that way throughout the entire game. |
We were young this year, but we have a lot of players coming back who will have a lot of experience. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do in the next couple of years. |
When you lose to a team by nine goals, it can be very easy to just give up and not work hard when you play them again, but these girls didn't do that. They were in their face all night going after balls and not backing down, and that was very impressive. |
