The biggest thing is we're finishing our chances. It was something we were worried about at the beginning of the season, but obviously in big games they've responded.

We were very happy with how our team kept fighting during this game. The squad showed a lot of heart against a very dynamic UCLA team on their home field. Erin McLeod was spectacular for us in goal, but it was our total team effort that won us this victory tonight.

I think we have more cohesion, more communication than last year. We've had 16 or 17 players see significant playing time, which is a lot for us.

I have asked Tiffany to take on even more responsibility this season. She has had to deal with more pressure and teams have been very physical with her, but she's been really good at creating space for other players.

In the NCAA you need a bit of luck because there is so much parity. But I think we have the personnel, both athletically and technically, to really make something happen. If things fall into place, this could be our year.
