Head Coach G Guerrieri
On facing a physical Tennessee team…
"I thought that that was the advantage of Tennessee over us. They were more physical. You've got to give Tennessee credit, they played well. They scored three goals all from physical advantages in that particular matchup. Two goals that go in off the crossbar and one that was just a crowd of people in front of Kenna (Caldwell). I don't know what she saw there. I thought there were points in the game where we played well and we matched them. Whenever we were able to get the ball down into play, we created some really good opportunities. Their goalkeeper (Lindsey Romig) made a couple of really good saves. It's a razor-sharp difference between winning and losing in this league. It's their 10th win of the season. They're on a hot streak and we're on a cold streak right now."
Sophomore midfielder Barbara Olivieri
On her return to the lineup following a month missed due to injury…
"I talked to the doctor and would say that I am around 90 percent. I am getting there for sure. It's been almost a month of straight recovery every day, so I haven't missed a day of recovery and I'm just working hard. I feel stronger. My knee feels good, just a little sore."
