She made a great effort, handled a lot of shots.

I felt like it was a great team effort. I just thought that the energy was great, that the effort was great. I am just happy for my kids today, and I'm just really proud of their effort and the outcome. It is just a reward for their hard work today.

Our kids played hard, but we were missing bodies in the first half that would have really influenced the game. It was just one of those games that we took on the chin, and we will continue to grow and get better.

We had four different people score in the first game, so having a balance like that really helps to confuse the other team. It bolsters our confidence that we can spread the offense like that.

We kept pressing, pressing but couldn't put the ball in the net.

When you are playing a team that barely presses you offensively, you get lulled. Girls in the back tend to over-commit a bit to get into the action on the other end.

We moved some people around and put some people in positions they don't normally play in.

It was absolutely huge for us. The last three games we haven't been able to get the ball in the back of the net. We are very focused on our home field, it feels good.

They made it very difficult for us in terms of trying to figure out a way to slow them down a bit. They were a very technical team, they just played a better brand of soccer than we did tonight.

It was a real sleeper of a game - it isn't a great measuring tool for us. The one bonus I can say about the weekend overall is that we didn't lower our standard of play to their standard of play.

It's back to the drawing board in terms of playing on the road. I think we are about ready to turn a corner, so hopefully that will come to fruition on our home field, after two weeks of playing on the road.

It puts more pressure on the forwards than I wanted too.

It was a great shot, just really well done.

It was just a really good team effort. We moved the ball well. We stayed really organized in the back despite the fact that they didn't pressure us.
