Â
I think since the beginning of preseason we've worked on our defensive organization and to be fair Bryant plays a non-traditional formation that threw us for a couple loops. I think for us we talk about the urgency of getting our lines up and back, so if we want to score goals and get into our attack we have to get our lines higher. We are definitely going to continue to build on it and get comfortable putting our lines higher on the field. - Nicole Pacapelli
