Tell us about your rebound goal on Friday night.
"It was not intentional. I tried to cross it and the keeper hit it out. I was able to get it back and shoot it. It was exciting."
What is the key to the offensive success in the playoffs?
"I think always have one person as an option and knowing what you are going to do off the ball and when you have the ball. Knowing what you are going to do before you receive it has played a major part in our success. We don't want to get the ball taken away so we have to know before we get it whether to go forward or go back."
