Brooks Monaghan Game Quotations

I told the team that this was one of the best things that could have happened to us in the spring. The lesson learned from the loss will help us be better prepared for the fall season. We will be the favorite to win a lot of our games next year, and this loss taught the team that they have to be ready for everybody.

We had two good games this weekend and we have two games left. I'm pleased overall with the spring we've had and the progress the team has made toward what we want to accomplish in the fall with our new system. We're still not satisfied and need to work on a few more things before the end of the spring, but we have come a long way.

Roma is a very technical center-mid who reads the game well. She is coming back from an injury but is someone we feel will battle back and contribute right away. Romo has good vision and a fantastic work rate, and she will give us more depth in the midfield.

We have some good games scheduled for the spring that will prepare us for the fall. I'm pleased with the results we had this weekend and the amount of knowledge we gained about ourselves. We still have things we can improve, and we will continue to work on those things in the upcoming games.

We didn't have everything clicking on all cylinders. The game was more of an individual game. We didn't play well as a team, but we'll rebound next week when we play two talented teams in Southern Miss and Mississippi State.

We came out flat and allowed Southern Miss to control the tempo early. Southern Miss came out with a lot of energy and played like they had something to prove after the results from the fall. It was an evenly played game in the first half, but we weren't winning many of the 50 percent chances.

It was great to play a well-respected program like Missouri. We didn't get the win, but we walked away from the game with a positive experience and learned some areas we need to work on.

Missouri began the game with high pressure and it took us a moment to settle down. We were caught a little of guard in the beginning of the game. Missouri played with strong discipline as individuals and as a team, but it was still an evenly played game. Despite not having our best performance, we were always in the game and had several chances to pick up the victory.

Laura brings lots of experience as a National Pool ODP player that adds a tremendous bonus to our team. She is a strong technical player who reads the game very well. We feel very fortunate to have her as a part of our team.
