DigNittany: What were your thoughts about last night’s match against Minnesota?
Talking Head: I felt very good about Penn State’s chances in these two matches going into this weekend. As the season progressed, I thought the team was consistently playing at a high level and was looking to play at an even higher level against Wisconsin and Minnesota. I thought both Wisconsin and Minnesota had personnel limitations and weaknesses that could be exposed, and they were. That required most of our team to play pretty well, and I thought they did. It was an exciting weekend for the girls. They had a lot to play for — I’m not sure people understand that. They had a lot to play for personally, a lot to play for as a core of eight seniors, and obviously a lot to play for to win a share of the Big Ten Championship.
DigNittany: Talk a bit about the job of the coaching staff this season.
Talking Head: I think the coaches have done a fantastic job. I think that is something that people are perhaps overlooking somewhat. I know the players have to execute the game plan. But the preparation before the match, and the in-game adjustments, have been very, very good. That’s reflects on the job the coaches are doing, and on the experience of this senior-laden team that is capable of making those adjustments and executing them on the spot.
