A lot of our opportunities were good, and then we hit the ball right at the keeper. That's something we'll need to improve on. We didn't mark up in some dangerous areas and it ended up costing us.

Fortunately this isn't carrying over the way we play or train. I'm not happy with the results but I'm happy with the way we're going at it.

I am certain we will be ready. You'll have two Jersey teams, and we expect that we'll be able to get back to our winning ways.

I feel that the goals we gave up this weekend were preventable. But, overall, I think we learned a lot this weekend.
|
I think other than not scoring, the team did everything they were asked to do. They played very well together, but giving up a set piece goal and not being able to get one of our own is obviously frustrating.

I was really happy with our performance from start to finish. Our assistant coach Karina LeBlanc said it best when she said we played like a Top-10 team tonight.
|
It's a matter of individuals getting prepared to play. You wonder why we have to raise our voices in the locker room in order to get people to perform.

Last year I don't think she was as mobile or as strong as she is now. It took her a part of last season to improve. We are fortunate to have her in the program because she knows what it takes to win and encourages her teammates to do the same.

Meg was very positive and I think a little anxious. She's very hard on herself and always wants to play but she got her opportunity last year.

Notre Dame is a top-10 team and DePaul is not, and that's the difference. If we had played with the same energy that we did against Notre Dame, the outcome may have been different today. There are no excuses.

The thing you need to take into consideration and that you hear coaches talk about all the time is the fact that you need to perform for the entire match. I thought at times we played well and other moments we had breakdowns that cost us.

They are all good people and a joy to be around. But right now they're just not tough enough.
|
They are an in-state rival and no matter how both teams are doing, it's going to be a big game for both of us.
|
This game was huge. This makes our chances of getting into the Big East tournament much slimmer, but it's not out of the question. We had no sense of urgency today like we had in the last five matches.
|
We are looking at this as a springboard into the Big East. I'm disappointed and obviously we're not happy with the outcome, but we're going to use this to get better, and I feel that we have. I am encouraged by our direction.
