Danny is as fast as Nick Knight. Once his skill catches up with that -- probably by midseason at the earliest -- he's going to be a threat. Defensives are going to have a hard time with him.

Honestly, I think it's probably a here-we-go-again thing. These guys have had to play catch-up all year. It's hard to stay positive in a situation like that.

It doesn't get any easier from here.

Basically, we didn't get the wind first in overtime. That's not why they scored, but psychologically it was a factor. It was very much a factor all day.

To be honest, they dominated the midfield, but created no scoring opportunities. Except for one and they put it away.

It's a matter of them getting used to each other and what I'm asking them to do.

Ally played an awesome game. I loved the way she played today. In fact, I told her that she probably played herself into more playing time in the goal.

After two consecutive losses, it comes at a time when we needed a little boost. Six goals is more than enough. And it's exciting to get the first conference victory. I told them that I didn't care if it was five to nothing or nine to nothing, as long as the nothing is still there.

I think our defense is pretty strong. That's probably the strongest part of our team. I think we're pretty fit right now and, for the most part, I don't have to motivate them. They're already pretty motivated.
