Coach Jennifer Rockwood Quotes

(On the Cougars) We are accomplishing our goals right now and we are playing extremely well. We're an offensive team that attacks the ball and we are creating lots of opportunities to score. We just need to finish them. This past weekend

everyone got to play again and allowed them to get some experience, and we gave our starters a rest.

(On opponents) These two teams (Boston University and Harvard) we haven't seen play or competed against them ever. Both are solid teams who are highly ranked in their regions. This will be a big challenge for us. We will get an opportunity to play and see some east coast soccer.
