We made Buchanan sweat it out for almost 80 minutes of the game. The coach only subbed a few players and he never took out his key players. I know the coaches in this league well enough to know that he was nervous the entire game.

Shelby was in goal the entire game. Jessie (Lopez) is out with an arm injury. She should return Monday.

Some of my players needed 90 minutes in a meaningful game and we were able to do that for Phil Johnson while both Bob Mitchell and Willie Bennett played some time after recovering from injury.

Coach Lopez said if it is out there, the pitch will find me. It seems like almost every game I am getting dotted. I got hit in the helmet this time. It was a good thing I was wearing one. There was some ringing in my ears, but it went away.

We didn't establish Paul or Kyle. We were almost 10 minutes into the game and (George Mason) didn't have a team foul. We've gone through Paul all year, and we didn't do that tonight.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.
