He's the trigger, that's for sure. How he goes, we go.

It's the challenge of playing a bigger school, and since we're only eight miles away, why not play Ames. You can't lose in a situation like this. This was our first game, and we were a little nervous and maybe not quite ready.

It was a well played game. We played great defense in the second half, but we just couldn't get very many attacks.

That newer piece, for example, might have a variable speed drive, as opposed to the old-style motor. This can offer considerable savings if plants replace their existing equipment with the variable speed unit.

Ballard used a flat-back four to try and catch us off sides. They made us pass it through their defense and go one-on-one. We knew we'd score a lot of goals that way, but it wasn't fun to watch.

Our defense is really playing well; we're not giving good looks at the net. This one was a game we felt we were controlling the tempo, but at 1-0 we were always leery of a breakdown.

We were pleased with our girls even though we didn't win. Against Dewey, we were smacking the ball hard.

This was the best played game by our girls so far this year. I don't know if we're just a good cold weather team or not. I thought we dominated every aspect of the game.

The defense is definitely ahead of the offense. Now, we come into the meat of our schedule.

He's a great guy, and he comes from a very successful football program.
