A pretty good win . I really enjoy the improved athleticism of our team as compared to the previous 3-4 years. Good contributions from many players, both starters and players off the bench, will help this team going forward. Although I'd love to see the injured players in the field, the depth of the team is proving its worth.

We were far from perfect tonight. A few of the players really have to clean up their mistakes, particularly in the area of successfully completing basic passes. Smith, Pounds and Kolb get quite loose with their passing in both the accuracy and weight categories . A better team than MSU would have capitalized in some of those mistakes.

A few of our more skilled players are holding the ball too long instead of moving it more quickly to open players. As they are getting double teamed because of their historic success, other Aggie players are given less attention and more space. This will become even more important once Carroll gets back in the field.

Kolb is getting forward with really good success which creates a matchup problem for defenses. Her speed is good and her skills are good. Her defense is not yet good. That is a weak spot for us on the back line. I guess her offensive prowess justifies position in the field. Smith seems somewhat out of place in the center. I preferred her on the outside last year because of her speed and athleticism. With Lopez in the left back spot it's hard to justify the switch so we have to make due. Sample continues to impress.

Our goal tending is acceptable but not brilliant. They are good enough to help the team win as king as they can avoid the big mistakes.

Things are becoming clearer offensively as the freshman become bigger contributors. I only see this improving as the season progresses, particularly with Carroll's return.

We are solid in the middle. Against powerhouse teams we could be heavily challenged but against poor and average teams our players will do more than hold their own. Pounds has started the season well as a newcomer although I'd like to see her clean up her passing success rate and work harder in defending and getting back. She should have a very nice career as her game continues to mature.

Exciting times for the team with a strong influx of new players. The player from Canada has shown nice early contributions. She is another one that can be a big contributor once her injury is behind her. We have a really nice mix of newcomers and experience with this team. The shorter fall season combined with a spring extension may work in our favor to give the newcomers a bit more time and experience.
