I think we kind of caught them off-guard with the first goal. We did a good job of finishing off that cross. We didn't do that for the entire game.

I don't think any coach in the state can put their schedule up against ours. We play a tough schedule and I think we will benefit from it. I think these girls are becoming better soccer players.

I scheduled a tough schedule because I felt like the girls needed to be challenged. They have come a long way in a year and even though we have had some tough losses, the experiences they have gone through will help them get to the next level.

It's rewarding to see them start to come around and play the way we have. I've been pleased with our progress offensively. We have been playing solid defense but we are improving with our attacking.

I expect these to be tough games but I have every belief that these girls can compete with these teams.
