It took the pressure off some of the other girls, and they tried to get it to her to score.
We saw some things that we can work on. In Wilson we got away from our passing game, and it hurt us, but we had three games this week, and I think they still have a little on their minds about this weekend. We can make good things happen for us out of these games (lopsided wins) if the girls let it happen.
It's a small field (in Buxton), and it's another reason why we encouraged more passing, because you couldn't dribble anyway it was too crowded. We tried to keep it wide, and it was one issue we had this past weekend and against Cape Henry (all losses), we were getting the ball wide and making crosses, and the inside people weren't following the play, and we were wasting crosses.
She's a natural leader, the girls listen to her. She is very strong and works out with her dad, and there's no one that will run her over.
She's got great abilities to distribute the ball, and it's like a lost talent having her play stopper for us, but we now have her defensive capabilities and offensive capabilities, and I think it'll show.
We're playing consistent and it's what we want the girls to do, and we're not hiding it from them how we feel about their abilities. We feel we're a good team, and we should be with the nucleus of kids we have. and we need to play like we're a good team all the time.
She has picked her game us tremendously, and she's only a sophomore, and I don't think she realizes how much she contributes to the team.
