I think that gave us confidence that we could win titles despite our age. It was motivation for us to get it done in soccer, not just softball. It kicked off a little friendly competition between our sports. It was motivation to try and get in there and be able to do that for our sport as well. Jessica was a big part of that.

It was a real physical battle, and we stepped up. We're not scoring the way we'd like. But we're pleased with the effort and progress.

Our kids are getting very frustrated. They feel like they're playing as hard as they can. And that's all we can ask them to do.

We came out a little slow and San Pasqual really took it to us. We kind of felt like we righted the ship a little bit and San Pasqual played a great game from start to finish.

I don't see why they couldn't do both. If anything, I think playing for a national team would help them get into a better college.

When you can't score goals or get a lucky break, the other team will eventually break through. I know the girls are getting frustrated. ...We're going to have to starting finding ways to score.
