Erin definitely kept us in the game. There was a point in the first 10 minutes that I thought it could be really ugly, but she had some big saves. Erin and the defense did enough to keep us competitive. |
Holly is an outstanding hockey player. She's definitely been a great addition to our program. She has eased right into being a first-year starter. |
I have to give Northeastern a lot of credit. They played really well. |
I think we played an average game. It wasn't great and it wasn't horrible, but we definitely didn't play to the level that we are capable of playing. |
If you look historically at our program, we've always had outstanding goalies. That's definitely been a BU tradition for field hockey, and outstanding goalkeeping has always been a strength of our program. |
In the first half, they couldn't get it together, but I think that changed in the second half. We didn't feel as overwhelmed. |
It was a hard-fought victory for us. Hofstra is an athletic and aggressive squad with great team speed and I'm pleased with the way we came out and competed. |
Monica Dorley always comes to my mind because she was only about 5-foot-1 and she was absolutely the type of person that would be overlooked by a lot of college coaches, |
Our weakness right now is definitely inconsistency, ... They played very well against Michigan State, didn't play well against Louisville and I was pleased with the way they played against BC. They'll need to be much more consistent. |
She works hard on cone drills and it's paying off, |
She works hard on cone drills and it's paying off. She's making the defenders look like cones out there. Not only is she exciting, skilled and aggressive, she's very fast. |
Then the coach said to me, 'Is this one of your national team goalies?' and I said, 'No,' ... The stereotype that [college coaches] usually want is the bigger, taller goalie, and she wasn't that at all. |
We need to play the way we played against BC against Hofstra this weekend and against everyone we play for the rest of the season. |
We were able to control the game and make good decisions. The middle of our field needed to have a great game and they did. |
