After two consecutive losses, it comes at a time when we needed a little boost. Six goals is more than enough. And it's exciting to get the first conference victory. I told them that I didn't care if it was five to nothing or nine to nothing, as long as the nothing is still there. |
Ally played an awesome game. I loved the way she played today. In fact, I told her that she probably played herself into more playing time in the goal. |
Basically, we didn't get the wind first in overtime. That's not why they scored, but psychologically it was a factor. It was very much a factor all day. |
Danny is as fast as Nick Knight. Once his skill catches up with that -- probably by midseason at the earliest -- he's going to be a threat. Defensives are going to have a hard time with him. |
Honestly, I think it's probably a here-we-go-again thing. These guys have had to play catch-up all year. It's hard to stay positive in a situation like that. |
I think our defense is pretty strong. That's probably the strongest part of our team. I think we're pretty fit right now and, for the most part, I don't have to motivate them. They're already pretty motivated. |
It doesn't get any easier from here. |
It was free kick after a foul. It wasn't a penalty kick. |
It's a matter of them getting used to each other and what I'm asking them to do. |
Jessica kicked it into the box to Rebecca. She trapped it and scored it. |
On paper, this is a team that should've killed us. We gave them a run for their money. |
She knew where to put it. I just told her to make sure she got a good shot. |
She's no secret. We like to run a lot of things through Rebecca. She's a good player and has the most experience. |
The girls will get to see where I want them to be. They'll be able to play a team that will show them what I'm trying to teach them. |
The wind was pretty strong. I don't know what it was like in Leavenworth, but in Topeka it was pretty harsh. |
