00:00 So, it's been a long career, six years now, first career hat trick, how do you feel today?
00:07 You know what, that is funny, it was a first career hat trick, but it was great.
00:11 I mean, every single ball couldn't have been better, it definitely felt great.
00:15 Yeah, it was a great day.
00:19 You checked out in that first half after 19 minutes, pretty loud ovation from the crowd, how'd that feel?
00:24 No, it was great, especially being a blocker at home, it's an incredible environment, and to be able to do as well as we did today, and put up a lot of goals, it was fun, I always get a little girl to have a great time.
00:36 Did coach talk to you guys at all before the game, obviously you had that huge win on Thursday at Georgetown, just about making sure you had that energy today as well?
00:43 Yeah, no, it was definitely about more so, regardless of who we were playing, just showing up and playing every team as if it was a national championship game.
00:51 And I think today that we did a player best soccer, and so that's definitely something that we're going to have to work on, but moving forward we're definitely going to make a point to stay consistent.
01:02 So you're four games into the season, how would you assess where your team is right now, what you guys need to work on moving forward?
01:07 We're doing really well, it's exciting, we all are still happy showing up to practice, working as hard as we were from day one.
01:15 And so moving forward is just being able to keep that same energy, two months in, three months in, it's going to be a long season, we hope it.
01:23 I don't know.
