Syracuse vs. Northwestern
March 24, 2008
Carrier Dome- Syracuse, N.Y.
Christina Dove, Sophomore, Midfield
On playing such a tough team:
“We knew they were a tough team. They didn’t play their best game in the first half, so we knew they were going to come out strong in the second half. We just weren’t able to match them right off the bat.”
On losing the game:
“It’s frustrating, but it shows that we have a lot of work to do. I think we didn’t play our best game out there. I think all of us would love another chance at them later in the season.”
On still being in contention for the national championship:
“They’re not in the BIG EAST, so we can still improve on this. The season isn’t over, it’s just one game and the loss shouldn’t affect us too much.”
On being able to bounce back after the loss:
“I think we’ll come back strong. I think it shows we have a lot to improve on. This one game isn’t a big deal.”

On the team’s confidence:

On the loss:
“It’s kind of upsetting, but we know what we have to work on. We have to play the full 60 minutes. “
