The longer the game went without us scoring the more pressure we were putting on ourselves. We took the attitude at halftime that we just needed to settle down and play the easy game ... take the easy pass. We felt like we were the stronger team and we were pressing too hard.

The girls were on a mission to send a message that we are still a team to be reckoned with. Having Permian was kind of a challenge for us, and I think the girls felt like we owed them one from that first game. I was proud of their effort.

You only get so many of those chances in a game. We learned we've got to start taking advantage of our opportunities and start finishing.

I don't think I ever felt comfortable. They were dangerous when they had the ball.

I knew if we brought the same attitude (Tuesday) that we had against (Odessa) Permian last week we'd take care of business. We really didn't shift gears, I just think mentally it took us a while to get into the flow of the game and get used to the speed. Things started happening for us after about 15 minutes.

The center midfield area is extremely important to us. It's the middle of everything.

It's a disappointing loss because I thought we could take these guys. It was a frustrating game.

It was a really well-played game. Obviously the way we lost the game was tough for the girls. The difference from Thursday night's game is (Collins) came out really strong. Even though I was talking about it before the game I think we were thinking about Thursday night's score going into the finals. Hopefully we'll learn from this.

There were some tense moments there in the last 10 or 15 minutes when it was 2-0. I was happy with the win today.

That's great as a coach to see that because you want to strike early. That's really been big for us.
