As a group they are catching on to things quickly. They're an energetic and athletic group and we're excited about the progress they're making. |
It provided us with a solid week of training. During the season teams are often preparing on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for a Friday competition. During those weeks we really have to watch our volume of training. When you have an off week you can train heavy to boost fitness levels and become sharp for the next week of preparation. |
Overall it was solid team performance. We'd worked hard all season on trying to get positive goal scoring opportunities and we got some today. |
The second goal allowed us a little bit of breathing room. We were able to get valuable playing time for some of our younger players with the two-goal lead. |
They came out with a lot of energy and put us under pressure right from the beginning. |
You get into the 18-yard box so often and nothing happens, you just keep trying to organize in there. To finally get one there... Now you're breathing a sigh of relief. |
