Although they may be in the top five, we are going to come out really strong and ready play. We can play at that level, and I think it will show on Saturday. |
I think we just need to settle down and get our feet under us. We just need to capitalize on the opportunities and make fewer mistakes. |
It was a game that was in our reach and that we should have won. It is definitely disappointing, and we're looking to bounce back. |
It was an amazing, fun game to play. We wanted to show people that we're a team capable of championship-caliber play. I think we're earning a lot more respect than before. |
It was really great that were able to [get ahead] that early. At the same time, we weren't playing our game initially. It was definitely beneficial to set the pace, and we eventually settled into our game. |
It's a very cool accomplishment but to be completely honest, if it weren't for my parents, I wouldn't even have known it had happened. It's a great accomplishment, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help and support of my teammates, coaches and parents. |
My teammates were really good. They were able to move the ball really quickly and find me when I was open. I really just looked to feed the ball more often, which caused their defense to come off of me and opened the opportunity for me to score as well. |
Now she's drawing her picture on her piece of paper. |
She (Coach Tucker) didn't say anything or do anything. Whenever I'm not doing as well as she knows I can, she always gives me a blow to get my thoughts together and get my feet underneath. She takes me out almost like a fresh start. |
That was huge for them. If we had won that draw it could have changed the whole mentality of the game. If you don't have the ball you can't do the things you need to. They were able to capitalize on that and instead of it being a tie game, they went up by two. |
They're a suffocating defense, and that's on everybody. We got our opportunities and had our shots. We just didn't capitalize on them. |
This weekend was a big conference weekend for us. Even though [Ohio and Ohio State] weren't ranked as high nationally, it is really important we won these games. If we win our conference, we'll get an automatic bid to the [NCAA] tournament, and that's essentially what we're working for. |
We were running a set play. I got a pick and was able to get a step on my defender. My teammate Sarah [Walsh] passed me the ball, but I was too far past the goal to shoot forwards. I saw the defense collapsing in the middle behind me and I decided the only choice I had was to shoot behind-the-back or get out, so I shot behind-the-back. |
We're an energetic, young team, and we were excited to go out and play lacrosse. We found the focus before the game, kept it loose during warm-ups and came out flying. |
We're there for five days to do whatever we want. Most of the team hasn't been there before, myself included, so it's going to be a really amazing and great experience. |
