As the game wore on, we played better and better. We kept possession of the ball and made them chase us in order to wear their team down. |
Ashley is becoming a real force up front for us. She's fit, sharp and been extremely dangerous. |
Every game, their goal is to get a shutout. One of the things you're seeing already is just [players] scrambling around, clearing the ball off the line - doing anything they can to keep the ball out of the goal. |
It was a good weekend for our team, playing two top 25 teams and not giving up a goal. We possessed the ball well and were able to create some chances. We would like to have finished more of those opportunities, but that will come over time. |
Our team fought hard today. Our attack was solid, but we did not create enough scoring chances. Overall, we played better than we did on Friday evening and gave ourselves a chance to win. We have some big games in front of us, so we will need to work on improving our possession and get some rest after a very physical weekend against Michigan and Michigan State. |
Our team played well in both matches. We possessed the ball well and Ashley (Foster) provided us with some firepower up front. You can see that our players are learning while gaining both experience and confidence in these games. |
This year's squad can shut anybody out in the country. Last year's squad could score a goal at any minute. |
We always try to play a difficult schedule. We challenge ourselves a lot early on to try and see what we have, where we need work and that sort of thing to prepare us for the conference schedule. |
We lost two great players, but we replaced them with two great players. We just replaced them at different positions. We became a little more balanced with our team. |
