Those are her first two college games, so she did very well. I know she was very nervous (Friday) -- she probably felt a little better today -- and I thought she did a good job all-in-all for the weekend.

In the past I think you had that (weaker) fourth-place team, so if you were first-place, then you really felt good about being in the finals. But now Neumann's the type of team that if you don't show up, they're going to beat you. So it's definitely a weekend where there could be an upset.

They turned the puck over inside the blue line and it was almost a three-on-one for us. Their goaltender kind of cheated on the play and Danielle roofed it.

It was tightly contested, and our kids were able to dig down deep in the third period and pull it out. And that's the way we've played all year. Whether we're in front or tied or behind, we've found a way to get the win, and that's a testament to these girls.

They're very disciplined; they don't make a lot of mistakes. Obviously, a lot of times in games, we capitalize on other teams' mistakes. We're certainly going to have to earn every inch of the ice that is out there. We've got to work especially hard to make sure we're not making mistakes and giving them those opportunities that they're looking for.

I thought we had a couple of kids that maybe could have been bumped up (to a higher team).

The times for the games haven't been set yet. But, I assume we will be playing in the 7 p.m. game.
