We weren't very disciplined tonight as a team.

It's the biggest competition this year. It's a pretty hard selection, so to be on the team I have to win the event. That doesn't leave that much place for mistakes. It's not an easy competition at all.

The situation of the team was such that it was decided we needed a change. The performance wasn't up to expectations. It was worrying for us and Madrid supporters.

It gives us a chance to come together as a team before we play. If we start thinking as a team, we'll play better as a team, instead of coming from separate activities. It gave us a chance to regroup before we try to do something with us. It's nice. It gets us in the right mind-set and kind of gets us to relate to each other.

This team is so united. Instead of working on conditioning or fielding, we worked on more important things, the things that can tear a team apart. We worked on the mental side of things and it's made a huge difference.

We know the next time we see West Jordan it is not going to be the same team. They're a good team, and we talked about that with our girls.

It makes a big difference to our team. It affects our energy as a team. We had a game where everyone was kind of quiet, and we just stayed even-keel the whole time. Even-keel isn't good enough, and we can always count on Koo to get us going.

We were worried about our chemistry, and we were reluctant to make changes because we were winning. But we wanted to put what we thought was the best team out on the field. We're just trying to put the team first, and the girls have accepted all of the changes really well.

I wish this team plays like they did in the second half all the time. We need to play tougher soccer. It didn't seem like we wanted it in the first half and we wanted a win in the second half.

Pitching should be our strength. We have two juniors and a sophomore with varsity experience. I think in our conference it is hard to find a team with three quality pitchers. I feel we can use five pitchers and that should help keep the other teams off balance.

We knew we had to come out and attack offensively. We have had a lot of gym time lately. I was a little more worried about the defense. I was very pleased with the defense. Offensively, we stepped up and played as a team. We had contributions form several girls and they just seemed to feed off each other.

It felt really good not being the oldest on the team and coming through. I didn't want to go into extra innings, especially with Wylie. They're a good team, but we feel like we should beat them.

With the exception of BU and New Hampshire, all the schools are pretty tight and we expect close games. Every game is pretty tough. We're still growing as a team.

Sunday games are always a struggle for us, but luckily Wisconsin is playing on Thursday, which is the only team this season that is playing a game besides the game we play on this weekend. Usually all the teams take the day off. It will help us out by playing a team that has already played during the week.

We do expect a big crowd we have a lot of friends and family coming to support, and the rest of the athletic community is always really good at supporting our team

I'm really excited anytime Penn State comes to our place. We know they are a great team, they are No. 1 in the country, but last time we played them we won 2-0 and if anybody in the Big Ten can beat them, it's us at our place

The series was great. To come away with two wins against a team as good as Oregon State is huge.

Alex has been coming up with some huge hits. She's been more and more clutch. Every time she steps up to bat, I'm really confident that she's going to come through for the team.

That was a great way to finish heading into the tournament. Tonight was the most patient we've played as a team this year and the best team effort we've had. We just put it together.

If you fall you put all the pressure on everybody else. It's becoming more and more of a team sport.

I think most of it comes from each person knowing their role on the team.

Those two have pushed themselves and pushed the team to play at a higher level.

I wish we could have finished the season stronger. We had a good season, and we were really able to get our younger players together and work as a team.

I think that it was fair that Michelle had all the opportunities to be named to the Olympic team.

I have to do what the team needs me to do as a captain. I don't care about awards. What's important is the way that your teammates look up to you.
