We had a couple of injuries that kind of jostled some things around. When we jostled some players around, things started clicking -- especially our defense.

Our girls knew from seeing Carmel win the last few years that they were the team to beat. That's not to say if we beat Carmel that we could still win our sectional. It's a tough way to go. It's the hardest draw I've had in 10 years.

But the reality is, they didn't get beat. No one from Indiana was able to get that done. It's going to be an unbelievable task, because they are a great team.

Defensively, we're playing pretty sound. There've been lower-scoring games, but we've been able to pull out some shutouts for a few games.

Carmel obviously is the better team, but we gave them way too much respect. If we were to win, it had to be 1-0 or 2-1. When (Carmel) got its second goal, that's when our level went down.
