It's the best start in school history. In the pre-season we felt like the mix was there, but we had some injuries. We had concerns but I don't think we had doubts.

Nobody went past her. She may not be the fastest defender, but she reads it extremely well. Her confidence level has to be quite high right now.

We came out with something to prove today. As we walk away from today, we earned something. It wasn't exactly what we wanted, but it was something.

It was more of a battle. We needed to put the ball on the grass and knock it around, and as the game went on we established that.

Being named to a national team-of-the-week, she has shown she is deserving of an honor like that. She deserves a lot of credit for our start. She's an integral part of our defense. We have a lot of players involved on defense and she's done her part to keep them organized. She's confident and the rest of the team feeds off that.

In the second half, we were able to use more of the field and get our offense going. It's our second straight overtime game, the second time it took a little longer to win, but we'll take it, especially with it being Senior Night. It's a special night for them, I'm happy that we were able to win.

This is a nice honor for Katie. She has made a quick adjustment to the college game. She's doing a great job contributing, not just on defense, but on offense as well. She's another part of a defense that has done well so far this season.

Without taking anything away from Syracuse, I thought we played poorly in the first half. We weren't winning balls in the air or on the ground. But for the last seven minutes, after they scored, we picked it up.

We walk away with our best start ever. We had that extra game on our legs and they didn't. Are we ecstatic with the tie? No. Of course we wanted to win, but it's another step in the right direction for what right now I feel is a very good team.
