[Jen] is healthy, her rotator cuff was sort of sore and she just got cleared to play this week so we'd like to get her playing time.

I feel pretty good on passing. We worked more on individual defense and maintaining position of the ball in the circle. On the corners, we've gotten more efficient.

There's definitely more electricity in the air before the game begins [in conference games].

I think that we got a little confused in our marking with our system; we were holding back instead of stepping up.

I love the versatility from the players. The bench has kept up with intensity and skill, and they are ready to come in to give others a rest, if not pick up the game.

It is a tribute to these girls. They will be the first to say that they couldn't be where they are at without their teammates, though.

You want to set the stage and be the aggressor. One loss won't knock you out of the standing. It's all about who can finish on game day.

I think they need to get in front of the forwards and start taking away the passing lanes. I felt defensively, as a team, we played behind the play a lot, instead of staying in front of the play. We weren't intercepting as much.

I don't think the time really matters. I think the girls love the games. They were on a tight schedule this weekend, but they had all of yesterday off to relax. I think they are a little more motivated to win and improve the record from last year.
