They are big, strong and fast. They have an excellent team. Their sweeper back is extraordinary and they have a lot of speed up top. They played hard on the ball. We just didn't step up today. They did the job. They scored on their opportunities and kept coming after us.

They were an awesome team. They had a strong sweeper and a strong forward. We had Sam (Miller) marking their strong forward, and we did everything we could to keep them out of the goal.

With a freshman sweeper that's probably going to be in front of her, she's going to be real big (for us). For her to take her communication skills and leadership and just her overall experience look for her to take control there in the back especially on set pieces, getting them organized.

We are going to expect big things defensively from Yeager in goal and Novack at sweeper. That?s not to say we are not overlooking our other players, but their experience in these positions can only help us.

They (newcomers) have made a big difference. It?s not very easy to go through them, and my sweeper sweeps everything else away, so it?s a pretty good defense.

He's going to be really good, ... He's big, he's fast, he's strong, and I think his best attribute is his mind is really sharp.
