[In the first half] we gave them a little bit in terms of more space and didn't really allow them to sneak in behind as much. Part of that is our midfield stepped up its pressure and started to close down spaces so they didn't have as much time, and time and space is key in soccer.

Amy is the type of player that is going to get five or six shots a game. She does a great job with the ball, and we do a good job of using her.

This weekend is like a Big Ten weekend. Both teams are solid. It should prepare us for Big Ten play.

There is a lot of pride on the line in a game like this. It has always been our goal at the beginning of the year to win the in-state title. Milwaukee is off to a very good start. They are always a very organized program. Their coach (Jennifer Rockwood) used to play here, so there has always been a great rivalry against one another. Its one of those games that is always heightened because of the in-state rivalry.

We are looking forward to being at home again. We have not played a home night game, so I hope there is a great electric atmosphere. I'm hoping we will get a lot of students out, which would be great.

Marisa is just noticeable; she is everywhere. She is such a complete player and is capable of playing any position.
