COACH'S CORNER
"As our preparation begins to take on Naz again next week, we plan to organize defensively. The main focus is going to be for us to enforce more of our will on the game. they were no doubt a strong and well organized unit, however, there are many important details that we did not take care of on our end. I believe that if we fine tune some of our approach, we will have chances to create many more scoring opportunities of our own when we see them again. "  -Coach Nikki Elsaesser
