This is a wake-up call. It's (the PVL) a tough league. This group has a lot of fortitude. I think we have a good team, a good chance in league. We just have to work a little bit harder.

I'm happy for my guys to see what it's like to play a good, tight, tough soccer game. Both teams played a great game.

This was just an average meet. There was nothing sensational. Hopefully, it'll be a wake-up call and our girls will get the picture. If we plan to win a fifth straight state title, these times will have to come down.
