In the fourth game against Cambridge the girls were just wiped out. There is a lot of soccer to be played. |
Last week was a long week for us. We try to put the week in perspective. We are still optimistic. The first third of our schedule is probably the hardest part of our schedule. |
Last year I think it was tough on the girls and me because I was a first year coach. The first time I saw any of them was the first day of practice. I can kind of hit the ground running more this season. I think I am more comfortable around the girls and they are more comfortable with me. |
Our strength is the girls will enjoy winning and losing together. I don't think that was always the case last year. It definitely will be more what can I do for the team and less individualistic. We will enjoy the highs and help each other through the lows. |
She (Gerry) has made the single most improvement. She will be the focus of our attack this year. In girls soccer it's hard to find a goal scorer. She has that mindset. She brings a good level of toughness to our team. |
She (Virta) is a leader by example. I'm excited with the energy she has brought this season. |
Sometimes in a losing streak you don't know what to say as a coach. Each time we got beat 1-0 it was heartbreaking, but (those games) are more motivating than if you lose 3-0. |
We are a lot better team. We are starting to gel as a team. |
We executed the game plan on offense and defense. We had constant pressure on them. |
We just played the top two teams in the conference and gave ourselves a chance to win both games. |
