I thought that made them start playing harder.

You're happy with the tie because you were down by two with eight minutes to go, but you're not happy that you score five goals and only get a tie. Give our girls credit. We never quit.

The trainer says she's ready to go.

She's never complained. She kind of accepted her role as a defender and that's what she's always done. I don't think she's really in it for the headlines or anything like that. I think she just wants to play and she just wants to win.

This is the best game she's played in two years.

It showed us what we need to work on. We played just well enough to win today, but we'll have to play better on Wednesday.

I've never coached a 5-5 game.

We gave up that tying goal, and we just quit playing.
