I'm really pleased with the attitude of the boys tonight. They took the game really seriously, and didn't relax even towards the end.

The defeat will wake us up and should act as a useful lesson that we can't relax.

We don't have the numbers of the boys team, but the girls have a good attitude and are a good, spirited group. That should bode well and we should have enough to run most of our relays.

Darling, you keep up that attitude and you’ll see how bad I can really be.

That takes the pressure off a player like Abby. It helps her relax and just play. It actually helps her get more scoring opportunities because teams can't just rely on shutting her down. We have other players who contribute offensively.

I think we deserved to get through and I congratulate the players. We said before the game that nothing was decided and that we had to play a good team which is very dangerous. We did well and we didn't give away many chances.
