It was a hard fought game. Pius is a pretty respected Milwaukee program. We were a little disappointed that we let a lead go but we played strong defensively.
They've got a lot of athletes and got us out of our tempo. The speed of the game was way faster than we were use to and that was the difference.
Liz and Jackie give stability to the team in two important areas. Liz is solid in the back and Jackie really leads our attack.
The Valley championship can come down to the difference of one game. It makes every game equally important. You have to win every one of them.
The girls really stayed focus and didn't get too frustrated. They were real confident that it was going to come. We had a nice calm calculated pass (by Margaret Ho) and then a nice finish.
It took us a while to settle down in the box and really get our goals. The girls have been confident throughout (the losses), and we've been playing some good competition. They knew the first win was coming.
I thought we did a good job playing to our strengths. I'm pleased that we can play with top Milwaukee competition.
It's the time of the season that we're seeing things from practice in games. We're finishing our opportunities and definitely taking steps in the right direction.
We missed a lot of opportunities to put East away. We got a lot of girls in today and that was good. We're focusing on playing our best soccer at the end of the season and despite our record, we're on pace to be doing that. There's no reason for us to hang our heads right now.
