We couldn't contain Dean. A couple of times we played very good defense on him, and he made really hard shots.

All you can ask is that the kids play hard and play a good defensive game. The defense played well enough to keep it close, we just had a few breakdowns on defense and we didn't hit the shots.

Natalie played another good game on defense. It doesn't always show in the stats, but she does a great job on defense; she's very frustrating for opponents.

I think we had moments where we played some good soccer. A couple of their chances came off of our mistakes. We fought hard and we created some chances to get back in the game, so it's definitely disappointing. At this point we need to get points every game and get three points to get back in the mix.

I'm trying to be relatively calm but also trying to coach my team as hard as I can.

Both these races could well be close. Primaries are hard to peg.
