We've gotten better as the year has gone along. We've taken our lumps but the scores are a lot better than last year. We haven't been getting blown out; last year we were getting beat 10-0, 9-0 and this year it's 3-1 and 4-2.

Bringing those two girls up has made a world of difference. I think they've lit a fire under some players ... and they have shown that they can contribute to making us a better team.

This is the best game I've seen them play in two years.
