They have to make themselves and each other accountable for the team’s success. I think they are making good progress there, but it’s a lot for young people to take on.

In all my years, I have never been so significantly (affected) by injuries as this team has this year. Not even close. They say, ‘If you’re in it long enough everything happens to you.’ It’s...

Our ability to score (hurts), if Ashley comes in and knocks down one or two, or Lina too. We just need more options, the more options you have, the better your chances are.

The guys we have are the nicest guys you could find. We had to be careful, because there’s always the chance of injury, and that’s what we want to avoid most of all.

The men have a quickness you don’t always see in the women’s game. By practicing against that quickness and strength, no matter who you face in a game, you’re not going to feel overwhelmed.

(Jenny) has carried us so much, I’m happy we got a break just so she can relax a little bit. And Tracy is doing anything she can.

She’s not afraid to open her mouth or even tease the coaches. We like that. We want some kids with some personality, and she’s really good for the other players. They see that and it...

Hey, she missed a few more than maybe she usually does.

In this profession I think it?s really helpful. I think you just have to focus on getting better. We?re trying to just have some tangible goals and things that individually and as a team we...

I think defensively our improvement has been dramatic. It’s so difficult to teach young players to defend with any discipline because in high school they are more athletic then everyone else. That’s a huge step...

The only frustrating thing is that we haven’t had all the pieces in place. The group that’s healthy has gotten a lot better. They have great team chemistry, so really, and it’s even hard for...
