Indian Wells was missing 10 of the top 15 players. And Miami (which is a mandatory tournament) missed some players.

We missed several key players at the tournament but should have done better. We were a bit unlucky in the end as we went out on goal difference and Senegal got through even though we had beaten them.

This was our first tournament with Jordyn [Wells of Flora] and Chelsea [Kremer of Du Quoin] and they all played well together, as a team.

It's a thrill for me and for the players. It might not be the NCAA Tournament and it might not have all of the hype and the publicity, but it's very well run, and Jackson really embraces every team in the tournament. They certainly do it up right down there.

I want to commend the City of Indian Wells for having the foresight to step up at the very beginning to offer their support in keeping this great event here. This is a tremendous day for the Pacific Life Open and the residents of the Coachella Valley.

To beat Lindsay here in Indian Wells, it probably matters a little bit more than anything else.
