I like playing St. Thomas - they?re good. We like playing tough teams, and we were fortunate. I think the turning point was us scoring five goals at the end of the first half and beginning of the second. It gave us a little bit of breathing room.

It was a great team effort.

The girls want to be competitive and I let them set what they want to do. But if you asked them, they?d all say Final Four again.

We were able to find an opening in their zone by cutting through and hitting the open people. They were packing three people on the ball, which meant somebody had to be open. The girls did a nice job of finding the open girl.

I?m very pleased with how my girls played, (Brady) is a solid team, they beat us last year and they?re always one of the front-runners. They?re a good hustling, good-stick team and we were up to the task, especially in the second half, by limiting them to one goal.

He is used to wrestling guys 20 pounds heavier. He doesn't look very big at 103 and as a result tends to get overlooked.
