Liza Kelly Great 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 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 it was a great start to the season. We definitely came out rocky at first but pulled it together. We've been trying a couple of things on defense that are different from what we usually do and they worked out for us.

I think Lindsay always manages to have a great game against George Mason, but I think when you have somebody that's willing to go hard it kind of takes away any apprehensions that the rest of the team might have so we can go after them hard.

We also had players like Lindsay Lewis who scored five goals and had five caused turnovers, and Danica Strutt. We had eight people with a point in the attacking end. That's really what we look for, and we had a great time of it today.

We've really tried to play to our strengths a little bit more. Last year Mary really stuck behind the crease a lot and was a great feeder. I think now Mary has really worked hard to get in better shape and to get faster, and so I think she's a threat from up top as well.

It's great to have a player like Jenny on your team, but it's also hard because you do expect her to come out and have a game like this. I think there are other people that are capable of putting up those same numbers, and I think when we really start to find our game and start rolling, we'll have more than just Jenny scoring that many goals in a game.

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.

The great thing about that is that she did most of it in the first half and didn't play that much in the second half. So it really shows that we came out strong. Sometimes teams definitely have a tendency to kind of sit back and try and feed, but sometimes those feeds will open up if you keep applying pressure and we definitely did that today.
