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.
ball double fed missed player quick ready trouble
I don't think we were ready for how quick they fed the ball in and shot. On offense, we had trouble with their double teams, and when we skipped the ball over to the wide-open player we missed some opportunities.
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.
bad chances coming games knew loss three
She was on fire. You kind of knew that was going to happen. They were coming off of a loss and she had a bad game. Chances are that she's not going to have three bad games in a row.
anchor games loss playing stepping three won
She's really the anchor of our defense. She's stepping up and playing consistently. We wouldn't have won our three games if it wasn't for her and Friday's loss would have been uglier.
attack continue defensive great improvement improving momentum opportunity room work
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.
ball care cause foolish great midfield
We made a lot of foolish turnovers in the first half. They're a great team, they're going to cause turnovers, but we've got to take care of the ball in midfield transition.
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.
hooking rattled
We had to be disciplined, and we weren't that disciplined in the first half. We got kind of rattled and we just started hooking the ball.
difference finish game inability taking tying
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.
ball five four good great might perfect score third though three wait
Even though we've got great attackers, we might have one good first look, but we want to wait for the third perfect look. But if we give the ball to Vanderbilt four or five times in transition, they're going to score three or four out of those four or five chances.
consistent effort hard lose played struggling today
You never like to lose in that way, by that margin. But we've been struggling with consistent effort and today everyone played hard the whole game.
