Colorado vs. Notre Dame - Postgame Quotes
“I’m a little disappointed, based on the stat sheet it looks like it was all at our end. I don’t think it was, from what I saw.”
“I’m so proud of my kids for battling for 90 minutes. Even after the third goal they were still out there battling. They’ve been doing that since mid October and we succumbed to a very talented Notre Dame team with a dangerous attack. Hats off to them, but I’m very proud of my kids.”
ON FIELD ? “They [conditions] weren’t ideal, but it’s not going to be a reason why we didn’t score. I wish it could have been better, but it wasn’t. Both teams were out there and both teams were battling. They slipped just as much as we did and that’s just the way that it was tonight.”

ON PROGRAM LEVEL ? “I think every year we’re getting closer and closer and hopefully the people after us continue to get better.”
ON NEXT YEAR ? “I think throughout this season and especially after we got into that slump, it was all about playing for your seniors. I think that’s going to be there forever; play for these guys, even though they’re not here. We’re going to carry on their legacy because they’ve taught us so much.”
“Playing against the best girls in the nation can only make you better.”
