Liza Kelly Good Quotations

She did a great job today. We're definitely very proud of what she was able to do in the goal cage. She had some good ground balls and saves, but I think you gotta bring it for each game and we'll see how it goes from there.

I thought she played a good game, and I think she did a lot from the scoring end.

I thought she had a little bit of an inconsistent day today. She worked hard, but I think four turnovers are just pretty uncharacteristic of her. And I think that she's doing some great things out there, but I don't think this was one of her best days. But hopefully she has many more good days in her.

I think that we definitely try to get those strong teams on the schedule. It's a hard concept. I think sometimes your strength of schedule can help you or hurt you. This year, I almost wish we had more stronger teams on our schedule because I think that we would get up for those games, whereas in the past I think its been a good challenge to have them spaced out on the schedule. So I hope the team is up for it and ready to compete on Sunday.

I think they definitely came out really strong against Binghamton. I don't know if they recognized how good they actually are, but they definitely had fun and played well as a team today.

I think there's definitely something to be said for momentum. Traditionally our starts to the season have been very tough, but it's hard, especially when you're going down south and playing teams that have been practicing in 60 degree weather. It's definitely a challenge, but I think it's a good challenge.

Oregon does a lot of traveling, so they make a big deal about coming back east and they also have a number of eastern teams come out and play them. They actually had Hopkins come out and play them in Hawaii and all the girls were like, 'We wanna go to Hawaii.' But they definitely still get a lot of good opponents out there, so it's very similar.

I think she's a very good goalie. I think she did a very nice job of saving a couple of key shots. She just saw a lot of shots and we had a lot of people taking shots.

They're steeped in tradition, and they've always kind of been lurking around the top 20 for the past few years. Traditionally they've been giant-killers. They always come out hard against good opponents.

No, I wasn't worried. It's our first game so I really wasn't surprised. I think I kind of expected us to get a slow start. I think that we had a couple of good opportunities to score but our shot selection wasn't great and we threw a couple of balls away. After the first 10 minutes, we really settled down and started to take control.
