The Greens look excellent, but I worry about anybody's defense.

When the defense has to worry about what you're going to do it's so much easier.

We're in the playoffs now, so that's one less thing we have to worry about. Seeing this defense jell as one just lifts me. And it goes both ways, because we feed off each other.

Jamie is all about defense. I think Maggie is starting to develop that same feeling because you can see her team play tougher, hard-nosed defense every game.

Saturday's game provided a good test for our defense, while offering a challenge to our attackers. Noblesville is a counterattack team built on speed, and our defenders had to constantly adjust to this tactic.

I told them not to worry. Last year we had four minutes to come back. This year, we had 40. I thought that we were the better side to that point and I was confident that we'd be able to put some goals in the net.
