duke handle loss maybe needed practiced recognize since success
We haven't practiced well since the Duke game, and unfortunately, maybe we needed a loss to recognize that. We didn't handle success as well as we would have liked.
area felt goal improve last transition
We've felt like we haven't been getting transition goals, so that's a big goal for us. We've been working on that for the last two weeks. That's an area we think we can improve on.
clearly executing execution level low malady near nowhere offense quite scoring team three
We're executing all even at a very low level. I think that has been the malady of our team right now. Quite clearly we are not at the level of execution on half-field offense the way we should be. Right now, you should be scoring one out of every three half-field possessions, and we're nowhere near that.
favor winning
We're in favor of winning some this year.
happened kids locker played remarkable second seniors stepped turned
You'd like to say something happened, this remarkable thing in the locker room, but what happened is our seniors stepped up. What turned us around was our players. We didn't make that many adjustments that made a difference. Our kids just played a lot better in the second half.
coming good knew played spot
We thought Towson was in a good spot coming into this game. They were coming off a loss, so we knew we would be in for a battle. At times today, they played better than us.
best figure practice trying week
We're trying to figure out who the best goalie is. The best goalie in practice this week will be the starter.
ball behind catch couple efficient frenzy games joe last lead playing settled shot three trying
We've been playing from behind the last couple of games and playing with such a frenzy trying to catch up. To get a lead really settled us down some. We only had three turnovers in the first half. We were efficient and Joe shot the ball well.
game lightning looked miles period until
There was 300 miles of lightning, and it looked like lightning wouldn't end until 1 a.m.. There was no period we could get the game in.
They're 1. Are we 2? It's the first I've heard. Then it must be important.
good playing plays second ways
They made more good plays than we did in the second half. But you've got to find ways to win, even when you're not playing well.
quite
It's quite the X-factor when your goalie robs the other team.
