We're not a team that's concerned about trying to sneak into the fourth position for the playoffs. We want to be in there, be first, and have home-field advantage. Those are goals of ours. The concern is not really who's behind us, or who we are tied with, but who's ahead of us.

You may upset one team, but you don't sneak up on the next one. This team is not Cinderella. This team is the security guard at the back door. They'll beat you up.

Wear is looking to be our fourth spot on the team. She is a real strong contender for that position.

Our problem is holding that lead and making Houston or any other team panic when they're a goal down. We've twice now given up that lead too quickly.

There were some contributing things, but I made mistakes, and that's why I'm in this position. I'm not going to hide from it. If anything, it's going to make me that much more focused, that much more hungry. Some people think I won't be able to bounce back, but that's my motivation.

It's not like a swap meet. It's mostly new goods.
