Corona is a great team. They are very dangerous all the way to the end. You can't let up against them. |
I mentioned at our (end-of-season) banquet about her commitment to defend and not just be a goal scorer. |
It wasn't necessarily pretty. But she's willing to try that. |
She's always there when (her teammates) need someone to be by their side. She's supported her teammates. The chemistry is great. |
Since Day 1 when I took over, I've told our team I didn't want us to be known for that and to avoid it as much as possible. Whether it's joking or serious, I just told our players to keep their heads. I told them to put the team before yourselves and keep your cool. |
We played 100 minutes and came up short. That's the first time we've been down in a game this season, and I thought we responded brilliantly. Now we'll continue to move forward. Our goal is still to win the Central Region championship. |
We're blessed to have someone like her. She's an incredible role model. She's a player at the highest level, and she brings a perspective to coaching that is different from what I can bring. She's able to show our players things that she's doing daily to prepare for the national team. |
We're really proud of her. She responded very well in her first big game of the season. She's done everything we've asked her to do, and I don't blame her for that goal. |
