We just played the top two teams in the conference and gave ourselves a chance to win both games.

Last year I think it was tough on the girls and me because I was a first year coach. The first time I saw any of them was the first day of practice. I can kind of hit the ground running more this season. I think I am more comfortable around the girls and they are more comfortable with me.

Sometimes in a losing streak you don't know what to say as a coach. Each time we got beat 1-0 it was heartbreaking, but (those games) are more motivating than if you lose 3-0.

Our strength is the girls will enjoy winning and losing together. I don't think that was always the case last year. It definitely will be more what can I do for the team and less individualistic. We will enjoy the highs and help each other through the lows.

She (Gerry) has made the single most improvement. She will be the focus of our attack this year. In girls soccer it's hard to find a goal scorer. She has that mindset. She brings a good level of toughness to our team.

She (Virta) is a leader by example. I'm excited with the energy she has brought this season.

Last week was a long week for us. We try to put the week in perspective. We are still optimistic. The first third of our schedule is probably the hardest part of our schedule.

In the fourth game against Cambridge the girls were just wiped out. There is a lot of soccer to be played.

We executed the game plan on offense and defense. We had constant pressure on them.
