We have done well against some teams that have given us problems in the past. The bigger tests are coming after spring break. We need to eliminate the lapses.

Operational readiness tests are where the bugs come out. We train so that these problems do come up and we can work through them.

We will be missing five players on Saturday. We hope to get Julia Borowski back for the tournament this weekend. She missed most of the action to this point with a sprained ankle. ... She has the ability to make a difference in a big game.

It was great to get her back on the field again. We missed having her in the midfield. Her speed and determination will help us in the second half of the season.

The first touch was perfect, and Alyssa hit a great shot into the left side of the net.

It was not much of a team game once we got close to the goal, and our shot selection wasn't the best.
