Q&A with Kendall Houck

Coming off a great weekend with your tournament scoring 16 goals and adding points in the Rio game  how does it feel coming off with 5 wins?

"I feel really really good. We worked really well as a team and without them I would not have been able to get all of those goals."

What are you most looking forward to the rest of the season?

"I am looking forward to us becoming stronger as a team. As we get closer to sections, and hopefully the title. I know we are a strong team and I know we can do it if we work together"

How do you mentally prepare for a game like Section FInals?

"I mainly just think about the game throughout the day and really focus in on what I can do to help the team. I get into the zone.
