I felt we could have played better. At times we were sloppy and careless with the ball. We had a few good spurts during the game, but our inconsistency at both ends got us in the end. It wasn't the way we wanted to go out.

That is the area (rebounding) where we are very strong. We didn't take advantage of our size down low like we should have. We let them control the boards. That really hurt us. Plain and simple, they just outplayed us.

They placed us in a new division this year. We haven't seen any of the schools in our division. But we are returning everybody from last year. I feel pretty confident that we should have a good year. Last season, we were young and taking on schools that were much bigger.

They're still young, but getting minutes last year is going to help them this season.

Based on how we performed last year, we should be okay at that end of the field. We have a couple of guys who can put it in the net. We need to move offensively and find the open man. We're expecting to take a lot of shots on goal this year.

We should do a god job of protecting our goal. We're experienced and physical and can keep opposing players from hanging out in front of our goal.

We've got a lot of depth on this squad. I plan on using as many players as we can. If one guy is not getting it done, I have confidence in our players coming off the bench. We're looking to use our depth to our advantage.

We've got a busy week. We need to be more consistent, especially at the start of the game. We can't afford to fall behind early like we have done.

We didn't give them many scoring chances. We did a good job defensively. Our guys were checking and being aggressive.

We're still working out some kinks. I want to get a good look at all these guys. A lot of them are showing great improvement from last year.
