felt game gives hand lead seems settled team
We felt like we had the game in hand and we settled down a bit. It always seems with Colgate that we get to a big lead and then we let them back in. That team never gives up.
ball care finish hang percent shoot shot
We're going to have to take care of the ball and finish on our shot opportunities. We're not going to get 30 or 40 shot opportunities. We have to shoot well over 50 or 60 percent to hang in there with them.
aggressive convert difference oregon
We've been working a lot on our free-position shooting. We need to convert those chances. From what I've seen, Oregon is a pretty aggressive team, so we will get our opportunities. That can make the difference for us.
anywhere asked field hard played player roles type
We've asked her to do things that she didn't anticipate. She has played all these roles because of all the injuries. But she's the type of player that can play anywhere on the field and that's pretty hard to find.

We've been improving on a lot of things, but there is still a lot of room for more improvement. This will give us a great opportunity to work on our attack and some of our defensive weaknesses. It's also a momentum builder. We have to continue to play well.

To lose to Stanford, and in the fashion that we did, by laying an egg in the first half, showed some immaturity with our lack of ability to stick with the game plan.

What really made the difference was our inability to finish on our eight-meter chances. That's the difference between tying the game and taking the lead.
analyzing buy detailed game kids luxury plan taking terms thinking time week
We've had the luxury of having more than a week to take some time off and regroup. We have a much more detailed game plan in terms of something the kids can buy into. It's taking a little more thinking out of their hands, in terms of analyzing the game and making decisions.
believe close either looked played sidelines team though
We haven't really had a lot of close games. They've been a blowout either way. I looked at the sidelines and it looked like the team wanted it. There have been times where I think they didn't believe in themselves. Even though it was a loss, we played well.
double felt hit loss marks needed point though time turn
We would be reeling if we had loss today. We needed this win. It marks an important turn around point in the season. It really felt like the first time we hit double digits on the board, even though it wasn't.
