Ginna Irwin on what the team needs to focus on for game...
"I think we need to focus on stick to stick passes in the game, this
was one of our big problems last time we met. I think if we focus on
combining together we will create more offense and be more successful."
Ginna Irwin's overall feelings about the game...
"I am really excited for the game tomorrow. I think our team has come a
long way in the two weeks since we played them last. We have been working hard in
practices, trying new skills, and I think we are ready to take it to the
next level against Ball State. We have so much potential, and I can't wait
to show it off and play 'our game' on Saturday."
Morgan Albini on being more offensive.....
"I think that in order to be more offensive, we need to play a better
possession game and keep our passes short and simple."
Morgan Albini's overall feelings on the game....
"I feel very pumped up for this game. We have worked with incredible
intensity this whole week at practice so that we would be focused and
on the top of our game for Ball State."
Molly Pulkrabek regarding what the team needs to do to be more offensive...
"Possess the ball a lot more, take more shots, and play as a unit.
Basically everything we did not do against them the first time, but we
Weren't really on our game then now were we."
Molly Pulkrabek's overall feelings about the game...
"We need to beat them. I want the 'W' so badly I can taste it. I am
ready to battle for it."
Jamie Baldwin regarding game strategy...
"In practice we have been focusing more on our possession game.
Instead of hitting the long balls through BSU's defense, our game
plan is to work it around them and utilize our speed to take it
straight to the goal."
Jamie Baldwin's overall feelings about the game...
"I think, as a team, we felt that our last game against Ball State should've been a different outcome. BSU is a huge rival and we are definitely ready!!"
Lindsey Nealis regarding being more offensive...
"We need to work together more. Cutting on and off the ball and
constantly be in a good position to help each other out will help the
attack."
Lindsey Nealis' overall feelings...
"I feel really good about the game. The last time we played
BSU we did not play so hot, but since that game we have showed that we
can put it together and make great things happen. I know that if we
play like we have been practicing we have a great chance of coming out
with a win. We have to go in with confidence."
Nikki Orciuch regarding playing as a team...
"I think that as a team what we need to do is play like a team.
We need to work together, read each others moves, and play with
intensity. We need to play with both our minds and our hearts."
Nikki Orciuch's overall feelings on the game...
"I'm excited to play BSU. We know what their capable of and what
they can do, but even better we know what we can do and how much we
want to do it."
