Coach Nemzer's Take
"I'm extremely proud of the team's effort today. We made some adjustments to deal with a few things that I thought Ohio State does well with. I thought we executed the game plan on the attacking side with the space that we wanted to get into. We just couldn't put a few into the back of the net. I give my team a lot of credit, they fought till the very end and they executed the game plan so I'm proud of their effort today."

Catherine DeRosa on What the Team will be Working on in Training on the Offensive End
"I think we are just going to have to continue to give confidence to our forwards. We have amazing forwards and every time we challenge them in practice they rise to the occasion and love the challenge. I think now more than ever, they have a very big challenge on their hands. We need them to finish and this week we're gonna be very intentional with what we're doing and how we're training. As always, I expect them to be extremely locked in and I know we are going to get the results coming."
