The first goal was huge. It gave us a huge confidence boost, and we headed into halftime with some real hope.

Our goal is to win the NESCAC, whether in the regular season or through the tournament - we'd love to get that NCAA bid. The wins are obviously important, but trying to form a cohesive team and creating a situation where everyone is working together towards the same thing is just as important as everything else.

I think Annie will perform really well. We haven't gotten to see much of her in games, but we've always known she's been a good goalie. She's such a great athlete and so eager to learn and be coached that I really believe she'll be able to help us this year.

We went into the game treating them like any other team. We prepare for every team with the same intensity, and I think that really helped us.

My heart is still pounding out of my chest. With as many injuries as we had, we just had to keep getting players in and out - don't ask me how we did it.

I love the challenge of starting at zero every day and seeing how much I can accomplish.
