It may have taken us awhile to play this well. That's okay. This is the perfect time for us to get good, right near the end of the season.

I just had everything working. I knew I had to keep my composure. The goalie has to grind it out for the team and give them a chance to win. That's what my goal was.

Ryan Hubbard also made a big defensive play for us. We had a little bit of blown pass coverage and Hubbard came flying over to knock a pass away that could have been about a 40-yard gain for them in the first half.

The last few weeks have been great for us. We've learned a lot. Now in conference play, there is a big target on our backs, especially when PLU is involved.

We were ready to play. It had nothing to do with not being ready. They just beat us.

At halftime, coach told us he was disappointed. That's not the way we play. It wasn't anything other than an effort thing.
