We are like Astroturf snobs, almost, because we have such a beautiful field. We always felt bad about our old field but now we can really showcase our own skills.

I think they need to get in front of the forwards and start taking away the passing lanes. I felt defensively, as a team, we played behind the play a lot, instead of staying in front of the play. We weren't intercepting as much.

You want to set the stage and be the aggressor. One loss won't knock you out of the standing. It's all about who can finish on game day.

I love the versatility from the players. The bench has kept up with intensity and skill, and they are ready to come in to give others a rest, if not pick up the game.

I feel pretty good on passing. We worked more on individual defense and maintaining position of the ball in the circle. On the corners, we've gotten more efficient.

There's definitely more electricity in the air before the game begins [in conference games].
