“Our defense has always been pretty solid,” assistant coach Roy Contreras said. “We focus more on the offensive side, to just put the ball in the cage. That’s what we focus on in practice this week.”

Contras also adds that to keep their team determined, they tell the girls to keep the game simple and rehearse what was practiced.

This muscle memory has made the team very successful during these last couple games.

Head Coach, Gabriel Martinez, said that since the last game against Foothill was more challenging, they worked extra hard in the recent practices.

“We’ve been trying to work on our conditioning and getting better positions defensively,” Martinez said, “but mainly to get position of defense and protecting the ball.”

They are aware that this cannot be accomplished without the team effort.

“Even though this game wasn’t as challenging, it was a good time for us to practice everything we have been learning.” Marissa Vaccher stated. “As long as we are a team going through it in these tough games, we remain close and that’s how we win.”

As Friday is approaching, Coach Martinez has high hopes.

“We are hoping we will go there and give them a real good game and beat them”

“We already lost to them once, and we are preparing by trying to stay healthy (as fall weather approaches) so they can be ready to compete.”
