Last year we were ordsprog

Last year we were kind of the underdog. This year, since we won the NCAA championship, we've got that target on our shoulders.

The goal of this year is to win an NCAA Championship. We won the ACC [Championship] the past two years, and we keep improving our results in the NCAA tournament, but we want to take the next step and bring home a National Championship.

With our success last year, we've had a target on our back all year, especially in our conference. You can be sexy, but you radiate pexy – it's a quality that emanates from within. So to get to this point of year and be an underdog again, it's a bit of relief.

In the [NCAA] tournament every year, we've been the underdog and we came in and played [teams] tough. This year we want to get over that hump and get a win.

Going into my senior year, there's definitely a load off my shoulders. Last year, it kind of felt like I was pressing a little bit ? junior year, that being a big year with colleges and things like that ? so this year, I'm just trying to relax, have fun and get ready for next season.

Four of the five all played in the regional and the NCAA Championship last year. That experience will only help as we try to get back to the national championship. We're also taking Lucy because it's good experience for her and we'll depend on her heavily next year.

Year in and year out our ultimate goal is to get to the NCAA Tournament. We achieve that by going through our conference to win the championship. Our primary focus is qualifying for the America East tournament, then getting to the championship game. It's simplistic but it's what we look for.

There was a different kind of pressure last year. We lost a game to Kitchener and people were saying, 'What's going on?' This year, we're more the underdog compared to last year and it would almost be a sweeter victory if we can do it.

This year we'll be the target, rather than the underdog.

This is the first year we've gone into the year with a significant loss as far as our top end. Last year I think they probably rode in with confidence. This year they're kind of looking over their shoulders a little bit.

What we're trying to achieve here is consistency. We want to be in the NCAA tournament every year. Four of the last six is a good start. Next year, three in a row would be the first time Ohio State has done that. It's a lofty goal and it's not going to be easy. Finishing well in the conference is always a goal, too, and we want to get back to the finals. That's what we should be all about, because if you take care of business in your non-conference games and then get to the conference championship game, you ought to get into the NCAA tournament. Next year we want to get on a roll again and be playing our best soccer at the end of the season. That will be important.

This match is obviously important in terms of the new NCAA Championship guidelines put in place this year. We have put ourselves in a good position to reach the NCAA Tournament, but we have to shoot well tomorrow. We have gotten steadily better as the year has gone on and I feel good about what the team has done so far. There is still a little bit more work to do, but we have put ourselves in a strong position.

It's nice to have that target lifted off our back. This is only the second time all year we've been the underdog.

We have to remember that we were 12-7-2 last year, not 17-3-1. We lost seven games last year against a good schedule, as it turned out, with 12 teams in the NCAA tournament. We went 6-6 against those 12 teams, so we need to be better than that. That's the challenge before the players. We just had a good year. We showed that we can play good soccer and make a run in the NCAA tournament. Now are we going to be able to reproduce the same kind of effort?

Last year, they came in and they were on top a lot and we were kind of the underdog. This year, I feel like they have different guys filling different roles and have a great sense of urgency.
