Conference outlook
I am not thinking about the conference ending right now. I am solely focused on the first half of the conference. I want to be in the top half of the conference at the halfway point, and in a position to challenge the second half.
Keys to your success this season:
Our role player’s improvement over the season, taking over more and more responsibility until they are key players. The sophomores really jump out here.
The freshmen are still playing soccer as if they can do what they want against lower quality opponents. How quickly they adjust to the pace of the game, and start making faster decisions will be extremely important for us.
Behind the scenes: Who are some of the people that help your program succeed?
Beth Thomas is our team mom and runs our social media. She really makes the team run.
Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?
I wasn’t sure what this year would look like, and I don’t know how it will end, but we are better than I was planning. That has me excited, and should worry people who were able to take us for granted last year.
