I think we have the potential but it is not going to be an easy season by any means. We have a lot of depth in our seniors. Most of them have started since they were sophomores, so they are a strong unit.

That's what happens when you play two of your toughest games back to back.

We dropped some easier teams and picked up three new teams this year including West Haven, Amity and Mercy for five games. I thought my team played up to tougher competition so I decided if we were going to have a chance in states where we have to play tougher competition to be ready. It's definitely a tough schedule but I hope we can rise to it.

We came out flat in the first half. We couldn't connect a pass or dig up a ground ball. But to give them credit, they were all over us.

Our defense played tight, but we just kept giving them the ball.

They really play as a tight unit. They play together well and feed off of each other.

It's extremely frustrating. We're two very equally-matched teams and the girls played a good game, they just couldn't give me anything more at the end.

I picked up a tougher schedule this year, giving up some surefire wins with five new games. West Haven was one of the new ones, so we had never played them before.

The girls played an unbelievable first half. It was probably the best I'd ever seen us play.
