Head Coach Tamika Davis said she was nervous going into the game because the team had not played for about a week and half.
“Last week in practice we really focused on possession soccer and finishing so it was nice that I was able to see both of the things we have worked on play out so nicely in the game,” Davis said. “We still have a couple things to fix before our weekend region games but I am very confident in our returning players and new freshmen.”
Davis was also impressed with the play of the freshman and in her team overall.

“Today I had some freshmen standouts that really stepped up their game, Maggie Justinak and Katie Noomen up top really did a phenomenal job of putting high pressure on Worlands defense,” Davis explained. “ Brenda Chavez and Alyssa Graham surprised me in the middle by winning balls 50-50 and sending them back up to my forwards and hustling on defense. Every single player on the field today gave me 100% and never gave up. I am a lucky coach!”
