Player Quotes from UB Women's Soccer Season

By: Chris Hogan

Here are some quotes I gathered up from two of the UB women's soccer players about their thoughts about the 2011 season.

Senior defender Danielle Weir

Thoughts on the team exceeding all expectations:

"We achieved more than what we thought we would and at the start of the season, we thought it was going to be more a rebuilding season," Weir said. "Our team overachieved once we got into a winning habit and started to realize we were coming together as a team."

Thoughts on the team being number one in nation"

"Getting the number one spot [in the nation] was the biggest highlight for us this season because it showed we could actually do something for the season," Weir said. "Being there for six weeks almost became unbelievable and beating Queens [College] during the final game of the season, gave us a chance to finally celebrate for our great accomplishment."

Junior forward Asia Pulse

Overall thoughts on the accomplishments this season

"We had such a deep team and the players that earned All American [Honors] is something that has never been seen at our school," Pulse said. "We had the chance to show the players and the skill we do have, which [national] polls took notice of."

Thoughts about the team next year

"With our freshman and the production we have gotten [out of them], we just have to look for them for next year [to produce for us]," Pulse said. "We will getting some good new players and I think Magnus is well prepared for next season."
