COACH'S TAKE
Although they lost the game, coach Maria Bachert wasn't disappointed. “We made a vast improvement in working together as a team and each of the kids picked up a little more individual skills," said Bachert. "They are new players, they haven’t experienced these things at a high level of intensity and it is going to take us a little bit of time to get everything tied together. What I’m hoping to do is to come in on the second half of the season and beat all the teams that are beating us right now."
