I don't think we got organized. With them playing three up top, we hadn't played against that yet this year and we took a while to get sorted out to make sure we weren't one against one in the back all the time.

We're flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I'm not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we're playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we'll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win.

I think we're happy to be playing a different team than we've played this year. It's always good to play a new team, but it doesn't really matter who it is. We're just going to try and get few wins.

She's not there yet, but the top international players are making over $200,000 a year now. It speaks well of the sport.

They are playing the way they played three years ago in terms of just pressuring the passer and playing a lot more man coverage. I think once those young defensive backs get in a flow in things and get a feel for how fast the ball is coming out, they are going to be even better,

We played sloppy. We knew if we played like that ever again, we wouldn't be playing much longer.
