At halftime, I told them they played a great 40 minutes, but that their next 40 minutes was critical as far as the rest of the season goes. It was clear they understood the magnitude of the game. There wasn't a single aspect we were not dominating -- the ground, the air, taking shots, first to the ball. Everything came together for us. |
It's definitely a big win. It's a battle for the third spot. |
Lauren Minami works very hard to create those opportunities. |
These past two games were must-wins for us. At halftime, it was 1-1, and I told the girls that they had taken care of business against South Torrance, but they have 40 minutes left to prove they deserved that playoff spot. They dominated the second half. |
When you consider the fact that we've taken them to overtime twice this year, and the fact that we were all over them the first game and should have won and we were all over them again in this game and should have had it, we thought the tie showed a good effort. |
