Any team can play with anybody on any given day. That's why the game is played.

I was asked to do a play the other day, and I turned it down because I couldn't do both. And, all of a sudden, I got really scared. But I couldn't really take it on and go to all the designing meetings I have to and all the casting meetings. We have designers now but no cast.

It's a really special standard that we set now. It's something that hopefully will inspire the national team to step it up as well, and I hope it will change field hockey in the United States for the better for everybody at all levels.

I think it would be fair to say we saw players with skills that we've never seen in the United States.

We want to set a tone, a battle level so they know coming in that we play hard every game and they get discouraged about getting any advantage against us.

It's a play we've run all season, a zone quick-hitting play. It blew open fairly well, but we mishandled for just a split second and that took us out of the play we wanted.
