Depth, along with balance, is our strength this year. We have a lot of strong, young players that we can bring in at any time.

[Coach Dan Hawkins] understands the economics of it. I try to balance it year to year.

We lose or draw, what we cared about is that we played hard and took something from the match. I think we can build on this.

Our girls didn't quit, which was good to see. But with so many chances, we were beginning to wonder. ...

We always want to win, but coming back the way we did, against a top team like (St. Joseph's Academy), is definitely something we can feel good about. Win, lose or draw, we wanted to play hard and to make sure to take something positive from this game.

It?s like with wine. Taste it, try it, think about what?s going to go with that.
