She's done an amazing job as our quarterback this year. The assist record goes to her and she well deserves it.

She's a freshman and still new to Division I. We made sure to know their plays and we have a good idea of how she's going to play. I get the pleasure tomorrow of marking up on her and I'm going to make sure she knows who Boston University is and that a freshman isn't going to come out and score on this team.

I have confidence in any keeper they put in the goal. We have a veteran defense that is ready to help her out and keep the ball from going into the net. They've all done a great job this spring with pushing each other every day and improving these last two months.

It's a huge honor to be chosen captain. Especially with the senior class we have. It's been a goal of mine since I got here to become captain and to lead this team, but it really is the entire class. We're such a strong unit that even though the three of us many share the title, it's not just the captains leading this team, it's the whole senior class.

We all feel pressure, but it's different this year. Ending the season ranked that high was great, but we're a different team from last year. Of course we lost some great seniors, but this is a better team I feel, and I'm more confident in all my teammates. We also haven't been paying too much attention to all the rankings. We are taking one team at a time and having them have to worry about us.

I think it was a goal of mine and a goal of the team's to really come out hard, especially after a tough loss on Wednesday, and to just set the tone for today on our home field and for the rest of the year.

Comfort would be my only explanation. We're on [Nickerson] everyday -- rain, snow, wind -- we know how the ball moves, how fast we are on it, but with the way practice has gone this past week and the way the team is responding to the losses, I'm not expecting anything less from us once we go back on the road.
