Head Coach
I think we have really stepped it up coming off of the St. Bonaventure and Marshall weekend. We learned a lot about ourselves against Marshall and how we need to play in order to succeed.The way our team came out this past weekend is exactly what we'll need to be able to successful. We beat two really quality opponents in Cleveland State and Valparaiso. We'll take what we got from this weekend, move forward, and hopefully be able to add some more healthy bodies. And then we'll try to continue our high quality of play with a lot of high pressure and creating quality opportunities.
It was really nice to see Jessacca Gironda get player of the week, which was well deserved after getting to game-winners. Both of her goals came off of quality work by our entire team. Her first goal came off of our goalkeeper's punt, which was then flicked on by Stephanie Haugh for a great finish by Jess.
The second goal was great service from Stephanie, Madison Heltebran with a great header hit the post, and then Jess followed up like we've been asking our forwards to do. We've asked them to constantly stay in motion. It was nice to see that finally pay off and get us a very late, double-overtime win.
This weekend we are at the College of Charleston where we will play both Coastal Carolina and the College of Charleston. We don't know a whole lot about either team, which is actually kind of how we like it. It's a little different style of play by two southern teams. It will be nice to see some different opponents and to see how we can build off of a very nice weekend.
